Jonathan is joined by Chief Sequan Pijaki (Chief George Spring Buffalo), Chairman of the Pocasset Wampanoag Tribe of the Pokanoket Nation, Founder of Pocasset Pokanoket Land Trust (PPLT) and co-founder of Indigenous People’s Network (IPN). Chief George explains some of the history of Native Americans in New England and how their subsequent treatment by the government has made organizations like PPLT and IPN and their programs necessary. He co-created the Indigenous Roots Forever program not just to promote food sovereignty but to reunite indigenous peoples with each other and with traditional ways, like thinking of food as medicine.
