Modern method? Reviving the “aquaculture” techniques of our ancestors

from Unreserved

Scientists started talking about clam gardens in the 90s – but nations along the west coast built and maintained these beaches for thousands of years before. Rosanna speaks with Skye Augustine about the clam garden restoration that is reconnecting community to this traditional way of harvesting. Also on the show – Timothy Smoke on what it takes to learn and pass on knowledge around minomin – or wild rice – harvesting, and Saya Masso on how the creation of kelp farms is bringing traditional foods back to his community.
