The Gratitude Behind the Feast-

As we gear up to gather around the table this season, we celebrate the harvest, abundance, togetherness, and gratitude. ✨

💡 But there’s a deeper story worth acknowledging: the vast majority of what typically sits on your Thanksgiving table was cultivated and perfected by Native American peoples over thousands of years.

Corn, squash, beans, cranberries…these weren’t just foods; they were innovations born from intimate knowledge of the land and agricultural wisdom.

➡️ This Thanksgiving, I want to invite you to celebrate these crops and the symbolism they represent; not just about abundance, but about resilience, interconnectedness, and the gifts of the land.

When we understand where our food comes from and the knowledge systems behind it, we honor both the nutritional power on our plates and the remarkable people who cultivated this legacy.
