Native America Calling

July 28 @ 10:00 am - 11:00 am

Today, July 28, The Menu: A Washington tribe responds to a man-made environmental disaster; a shift may be in the works for immigrant farmworkers; and recipes help Seneca language revitalization.

President Donald Trump is signaling a shift in the ongoing push to deport immigrants as the reality of taking migrant farmworkers out of the fields, disrupting businesses and the country’s food supply starts to become apparent. About 40% of the 2.6 million farm workers in the U.S. are estimated to be undocumented. A portion of those are Indigenous people from Mexico and Central American countries. We’ll hear about how the Trump Administration may be adjusting its stance.

In a setback for tribal habitat restoration efforts, a tanker truck spill in Washington State killed thousands of fingerling salmon.

A search for words in their language led a husband-and-wife team to 300-year-old texts where French Jesuit missionaries documented Seneca names for traditional foods, cooking and even recipes.
