Terrol Johnson (looking thoughtful on the far right) Terrol- highlighted the importance of native control over native food preservation. Described how it wasn’t Native people who put many of those foods on the ark of taste, and they were put there with the notion that these foods were disappearing
Also- whose permission should you get to put a food on ark of taste. Elders? Tribal council? Asks, who am I to do this?
Angelo- we need to step up and do this, learn from other communities, save heritage seeds
Roy- Navajo churro assoc– community came together to nominate sumac
Terrol- similar to Pauline- mentioned organizations that they compete with for grants who have gotten those grants by saying they work with the community, but then it doesn’t happen
