My name is Jessica Robyns and I'm an AmeriCorps volunteer serving at the College of Menominee Nation. I've met many inspiring people since starting my service that are doing incredible work in food sovereignty. I think they deserve to be recognized, so I'm sharing their stories with the world through interviews. I hope they inspire you!
Jennifer Gauthier works for the University of Wisconsin-Madison Division of Extension. She talks about growing up off the reservation, her work on community wellness policy, and her unique definition of food sovereignty.
In this episode, I talk with Cherie Thunder, the food sovereignty director at a local non-profit called Menikanaehkem. Donate to Menikanaehkem: https://www.menomineerebuilders.org/ Download our theme music: https://wadefernandezmusic.com/
In this first episode, I decided to start from the very beginning. I interview Dr. Overstreet, an anthropologist who's doing work on the Menominee Reservation, about the agricultural practices of ancient Menominee people.
