Generating Engaged Native Growers (GEN-G)
Description
Feed 7 Generations, a Native-led non-profit founded and led by Muckleshoot Tribal Members will facilitate a symposium aimed to raise awareness of the opportunities for Native Americans in King County and other local Tribal members to engage in food sovereignty initiatives through pursuing agricultural enterprises that are centered in Tribal culture and strengthen regional food systems. Presenters will feature Native led agriculture programs from every region across Indian Country representing diverse interactions within their local food economies and supply chains. A planning and vision document will be generated from this gathering that will serve as a roadmap for activating Native agriculturalists, strengthening the King County food system.
