At this camp, the Ancestral Science Podcast was invited to learn from DARYL KOOTENAY about the science of smoke, the patience and resilience needed to live on the land, Indian popcorn, science of tending to the flame, moose noses and Elk brains, the need for multiple freezers, how smoke is the traditional Gore-Tex, and how food sovereignty can bring people together and is a massive step towards reconciliACTION.
