Yesterday, my daughters class took a field trip to a Native American historic site. The interpreter told how the native people, anticipating a European raid, packed up and then burned their village before fleeing to another village on a neighboring lake. One of the kids asked whether they took food with them. The interpreter said no, they didnt need to, because their food was all around them, in the woods, the lakes, the meadows, the sky. Then she said: Thats still true today. Our food is all around us in nature. Later, talking about native corn, she managed a dig at Monsanto. History *and* food literacy. Gotta love it.
