    Bonus episode: Interview with Nickole Keith and Kevin Harris of the Nottawaseppi Huron Band of the Potawatomi

    In the fall of 2024 Kayte had the chance to talk with Nicole Keith, Food Sovereignty Coordinator of the Nottawasepi Huron Band of the Potawatomi (also known as NHBP) and Kevin Harris, Culture Specialist with the NHBP. They visited Bloomington in the fall of 2024 to share a film about wild river rice with The First Nations Educational and Cultural Center on the IU campus, in partnership with the IU Media School. The film is called Mnomen | Wild Rice "From the River Banks to the Table.” The interview that appeared in the last episode of our Eats Wild series was cut for time, here is an extended version.

    Eats Wild Episode 9: Traditional, wild-foraged foodways

    “Wild rice camp started a long time ago. It actually started thousands of years ago, with our ancestors having a real-time lifeway.” We have a jam-packed show for you today featuring traditional foodways from the original inhabitants of this land, foods from lands far away–Anatolia and Mongolia, as well as right here in our own back yard. Wild rice harvested in a canoe, sumac by the side of the road, and for dessert? Pawpaw ice cream.

    The right tools for the job

    This week on the show, we focus on tools of the trade. Muddy Fork Bakery upgraded their mixer and it turned out to be a game changer. Hot sauce production is made easier with a hand crank food mill. And if you ever accidentally purchase the wrong kind of rice in Tokyo, never fear, they have coin operated kiosks to help you out.

    Eats Wild Episode 8: Nuts, beans, berries and orange globes–the trees share their bounty in the fall

    “Sniff it! If they’re smelly, I mean stinky, then it’s not persimmon…” This week on Earth Eats Eats Wild, we explore the fruits of fall…and the nuts and even beans! Forager Chef Alan Bergo fancies the Kentucky coffee been in its GREEN state, Liz Barnhart crafts a deep purple elderberry syrup, Keako Liff takes a (ahem) aromatic walk down memory lane with ginkgo nuts, and we talk persimmons with a researcher in folklore and library science.

    Eats Wild Episode 7: Acorns are not just for squirrels

    ”Acorns are, I mean, they're everywhere. They are incredibly abundant and they've been a really important food source for humans in essentially every region of the planet that had oak trees–which is almost every temperate zone on the entire globe. "But we don't do much of acorn eating anymore as people and in communities in most places.” Graphic Novelist Mel Gilman made an instructional zine about eating acorns, and this week on Earth Eats Eats Wild, they talk with us about this abundant food source, and why comics can be a great medium for learning about foraging. And, we process some acorns of our own into flour for baking projects.

    High school gardens offer a tangible way to make positive change

    “For me it feels like we live in an age where you look on the news and it just feels like everything is going wrong. And so gardening feels like a small way we can have an actual, tangible, positive impact on the world around us. In a world where it’s easy to feel like everything is just falling apart, it’s a small way to actually see progress.” This week on the show, it’s back to school part two. We talk with high school students and educators about what their school gardens mean to them.

    Art, food and figs

    “And a man on his way to work hops twice to reach, at last, his fig which he smiles at and calls ‘baby.’  ‘c’mere baby,’ he says, and blows a kiss to the tree.” This week on the show, in honor of WFIU’s 75th anniversary, we revisit favorite stories from the Earth Eats archive. We share two pieces celebrating fig trees, including a poem by Ross Gay. We explore connections between food, fine art and memory with artist Mollie Douthit. Plus, a recipe for making pita bread using spelt flour.

  8. Small scale dairy farming is a labor of love

    Small scale dairy farming is a labor of love

    “I remember in Covid, Sara, she went to the grocery on her way home, on a Friday, to get milk and some other things--basically when Covid was shuttin’ everything down–and there was chocolate almond milk. And that was it. I’m a pretty big fan of food independence and food sovereignty and having control over your food system and choice over the food that you want. And seeing it not available because of supply chain issues was part of it. There’s gotta be a local option for milk. I just think there needs to be as long as we’re consuming milk and it’s part of our culture, we need to have a local option.” This week on the show we visit Twin Springs Creamery. We meet some of the people and the cows bringing local milk to Southern Indiana.
