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.

There is a recipe for Minoomin and Berries and the Minoomin Giizis Challenge Calendar are both attached.  

This month’s moon challenge - Take the 28 - encourages including breakfast every day during the remainder of the moon – but if breakfast is a new practice for you, we are hoping that you can get breakfast at least 4 days in the next four weeks and that they are in some kind of a row.

The term Well-being has been applied in many ways. It is much more than just physical health, exercise, and nutrition. Well-being is commonly viewed as having seven dimensions: Awareness, Food, Being in Motion, Sleep, Balance, Relationships, Culture / Traditions.  Each dimension contributes to our well-being or quality of life and has an impact on each of the other dimensions. When it comes to our lives, we always hear about achieving balance in these 7 dimensions. Sometimes in our lives, one dimension is vying for more time or attention than another and we have to learn how to counterbalance our time between each one to achieve balance again. Most people have a dimension that is more important to them and that’s okay. But neglecting any one dimension can have adverse effects on someone’s overall health.

Due to the decrease in cases in the area, we are going back to normal operations. Masks are not required indoors for staff and guests but are available if anyone would be more comfortable wearing one in the workplace. We will continue to follow our regular COVID-19 protocols for normal LTBB government operations. The Emergency Management Team “EMT” will meet bi-weekly and if there are any changes to protocols moving forward we will send an update to all staff as soon as possible.

Everyone please continue to do your part with the 2 W’s (Wash your hands & Watch your distance) whenever possible in the workplace.

The new challenge this moon, one that you have seen before.  Are you ready to see how many plant foods you are consuming in a week?  The goal is 30 or more - not 30 servings just 30 different plants.  A few nuts, some oatmeal, an apple, a sprinkle of parsley on your noodles and you have five plant foods right there.  The hard part is that you only get to count each plant food one time in seven days, so tomorrow it is raisins, corn flakes, a banana, spinach salad and wheat bread for five more plant foods...
