In this month’s Podcast Club release, we’re tuning into an episode of the Herbal Radio podcast in recognition of National Indigenous History Month. Host Jiling Lin sits down with Linda Black Elk, an ethnobotanist, food sovereignty activist, and Food Sovereignty Coordinator at United Tribes Technical College in Bismarck, North Dakota. Together, they explore the connections between people, plants, and place, as well as Linda’s work advancing Indigenous food sovereignty.

From the show notes: “Linda and Jiling discuss the magic of native prairies, the little that remains, and what we can do about it. Learn about Linda’s inspiring food sovereignty work with Indigenous youth, and how to cultivate rich long-term reciprocal relationships with our plant and human relatives. Understand how pipelines and other extractive industries negatively impact plant nations. Walk the land with a greater appreciation for the food and medicine underfoot and all around.”
