According to John the orchard manager, this black peach from the southeastern US was introduced by the French when they first attempted to establish colonies in Florida in the 16th century. Native people quickly adopted them and traded them west to other tribes. While most peach trees are self-pollinating, this one is somewhat unusual in that it produces sterile pollen and needs to be pollinated by another variety of peach tree.

She mentioned organizations in Canada who have budget line items for Indigenous food sovereignty work, but she doesn’t see real action from them. “We are the power, we are the change, we are the ones who are responsible for taking care of our own foods.” She has been “reinvigorated and recharged” by interacting with people internationally through Slow Food gatherings who are going through similar struggles.

It means "the man who looks like his uncle." I don't know if you knew that, but the big ice is melting. Very badly. And its going to disappear. and this Manhattan will be underwater. Please sell your condominiums today, and move away from Manhattan. If you don't you will lose all your valuables. I know that people don't believe it, but the big ice was more than three miles thick when I was born. Now it's only a mile thick. and the water is in the ocean already. Its just that its very cold. But its warming up. And every degree it warms up, the water swells for more than 7 feet. We will be under water in a very short time. In my lifetime. So that's why i came to tell you. Its not enough to go on a march. we have to do something. We have to become the hope for the next generation. We have to give them hope. Before there is no land left in Manhattan or on the east coast of the United States. I hope the White House knows they're going to be on an island. So please know that I came here a long way to tell you that the big ice is melting and its gone. And this land where you are standing now will be under water. That this is no longer just talk, it’s the real thing. I greet you from my people from my elders, I'm so glad they didn't come here. It's to hot."
