In the face of historic/recent genocide, displacement, and ongoing systemic racism, Native/Indigenous peoples in California continue to actively manage for their traditional foods and operate farms/agricultural businesses. In recent years, the regenerative agriculture movement has grown in prominence, yet acknowledgement concerning the origins of many associated practices and approaches being Indigenous has been lacking. In this panel, California Native community members will share examples concerning Indigenous approaches to caring for the land and offer guidance around growing Tribal partnerships.
