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.

15 Jul 7 Circles of Health and Well-being
Posted at 17:01h
in News
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.

31 May Waabgonii Giizis, or Blossoming Moon, May 30th through June 28th
Posted at 09:42h
in News
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...
