Watch this segment by Prairie Public Broadcasting about the history of prairies in Minnesota and ND 🌾

I provided perspective on Indigenous people’s relationship with the prairie and how our people cared for this area.

In this podcast episode, Rebecca is joined by Ferin Davis Anderson, supervisor of environmental sciences at the Shakopee Mdewakanton Sioux Community. They talk about what caring for natural resources means, and how Ferin combines traditional Indigenous knowledge with modern science. They also discuss Ferin’s new, forthcoming book, “Wildfire” and the important role fire plays in environmental stewardship.
