Tomorrow is market day! Come make paper and shop and support all of us! ❤️

Four Sisters Farmers Market welcomes Wakan Tipi Awanyankapi to the market this week for a papermaking activity from 1 PM - 3 PM. Learn how to make your own seed paper that you can grow into a beautiful garden! 💛✨🌿

Their work celebrates and emphasizes the importance of the stewardship of the Dakota people. Stop by their table to hear more on how you can get involved!

The Four Sisters Farmers Market is an Indigenous-focused farmers market that provides increased access to affordable, healthy, culturally appropriate local foods within the American Indian Cultural Corridor.

We welcome and accept SNAP/EBT benefits, Market Bucks, Gus Produce Market Bucks, cash, and cards. Stop by the manager’s table to see how $10 in SNAP benefits can get you triple the money to spend on goods at the market!

Wild turkey! When I was young we had a neighbor whose family job it was during the Great Depression to GET (if you catch my drift, yes this is an old person story.) as many squirrels as he could for dinner each night. He and one of his sister tried for 9 for 11 people.

Finally a day that isn’t oppressively hot! ❤️❤️❤️

Yes!

Join us for another Indigenous Peoples' Day at the Minnesota State Fair! We’ll be at Dan Patch Park on Sunday, August 27th, celebrating and discussing Indigenous food sovereignty and land management.

The day will feature demonstrations on Indigenous food and drinks like tea, wild rice, foraging, and tortillas. There will also be live entertainment including drummers, dancers, and comedians. We’ll be hosting a panel discussion from members of the East Phillips Neighborhood Institute (EPNI), Native American Community Clinic (NACC), Dream of Wild Health, and Native American Community Development Institute (NACDI)/ Four Sisters Farmers Market.

The day will also feature booths and vendors from our community partners, prize giveaways, and plenty of Q&A opportunities for you to ask your questions.

One of the good things about walking old dogs is that when they are stopped to sniff I am also stopped to look at flowers and bees.

Heya beloveds! I will not be at today. I am so sorry! You should go and love on and support people! See you August 31st. 💜

I love this bumber sticker. It makes me smile every time I see it.

I have good news! Probably 2 years ago we adopted this cat, (not my photo this one belongs to PlotagonNoah on wiki media) but we have the same breed of cat. and SHE LET ME SCRITCH HER! She’s rarely let me do that! I got to pet her! I am so happy!

Mostly today I cleaned. It helps me direct the nervous energy, anxiety, grief around so I can feel positive about something. ❤️
