It is the first full week of Minoomin Giizis (Ricing Moon), and the materials from the White Earth Community that we are sharing for this moon are attached to this email.   Our Food is Medicine teaching is Why Plant Colors are Good to Eat:  Learning about Antioxidants and Phytochemicals and The Food Topic is Gichi-ogin, Tomato is Our Relative.
