November is National Native American Heritage Month. Rosebud Schneider, Co-Director of Education and Engagement at Keep Growing Detroit will discuss Anishinaabe farming practices and food security. Keep Growing Detroit is a non-profit urban farm with the mission to cultivate a food sovereign city where the majority of fruits and vegetables consumed by Detroiters are grown by residents within the city’s limits.
Rosebud is an enrolled Citizen of the Lac Courte Oreilles Band of Lake Superior Chippewa Indians, recognized descendant of the Lac Du Flambeau Band of Lake Superior Chippewas and Eastern Shawnee Tribe of OK and Purepecha peoples.
Born and raised in Southwest Detroit, she is a farmer, producer and community organizer. Her involvement with indigenous food sovereignty work spans over the last 15 years. She is also the Vice-Chair on the Ziibimijwang Board of Directors.
As an Anishnaabe farmer and producer here in this community, Rosebud continues to provide traditional foods across turtle island and remains dedicated to supporting the health and wellness of our community by educating on the importance of revitalizing Indigenous foodways. Her lifelong goal is to give her children and the coming generations the knowledge and skills to live a well-rounded healthy life woven with our ancestral ways.
