Algonquin Seasonal Food Guide 🍁🌱🫐

We’re honoured to share a visual Algonquin Seasonal Food Guide, created to uplift Indigenous food knowledge, land-based practices, and cultural resilience.
This guide highlights how Algonquin communities have lived in deep relationship with the land, harvesting food in rhythm with the seasons — from maple sap in early spring to wild rice in fall.
Note: I am Haudenosaunee (Cayuga, Wolf Clan), not Algonquin. This guide was created with respect and is not a replacement for community-led teachings. It is intended to support learning, dialogue, and Indigenous food sovereignty efforts across Turtle Island.

Why It Matters:
Algonquin food systems were disrupted by colonization — but they were never erased. Today, families continue to hunt, harvest, and teach food traditions with strength and pride. This guide is one small way to honour that resilience.

Use this guide in:
• Community programs
• School curriculum
• Traditional food workshops
• Cultural safety training

It’s a living tool. Algonquin Knowledge Holders are invited to expand, adapt, or correct this version so it can better reflect the Nation’s many voices and territories.

DM me to collaborate or adapt this tool for your Nation or program.

Once you start canning food at home, you'll want to find canning recipes to put up everything in a convenient shelf-stable package.  Home canning is easy, but it can be hard to find quality canning

I got to sing today with me babies 🎶

In this episode we catch up Deyowidront (Teri Morrow) Bomberry (Cayuga/ Wolf Clan of Six Nations) a Mother, Dietitian, Hunter, Yogi and all around Awesome Person. On the heels of the International Women's Day it's fortunate that I am able to spend this time speaking with Deyo about her practice as a Registered Dietitian and how she is able to incorporate Indigenous Food Knowledge and Indigenous teachings to work with Indigenous Communities on ways that they can make informed decisions on how food and health and well being are symbiotic and important to consider. She is a powerhouse and a wealth of knowledge and information. At the end of the interview she was generous enough to share a Haudenosaunee Seed Song with us. I hope you enjoy this episode and just to add a bit more authenticity and richness to the conversation you will hear her two young children in the background.

From the Six Nations Wildlife and Stewardship:

Information on Beavers - (Castor canadensis)
Beavers are a keystone species, which means that other species are dependent on Beavers to survive.

When Beavers make a dam, the water quality improves, biodiversity increases and wetland habitat is created for waterfowl, mammals, fish and amphibians.

Beaver Activity can increase plant diversity by up to 33%.
Some studies have shown that streams with Beavers have 75 times as many ducks as those without.

Beaver dams slow the flow of water and reduce flooding risks downstream.

Beavers and Property Damage
It is important that Beavers thrive in Six Nations to ensure our other native wildlife can survive. However, there are some options to encourage a Beaver to relocate or prevent some flooding.
-Beaver Baffles or Beaver Deceivers can be installed.
-Trunk guards around trees, like chicken wire or galvanized fencing can prevent unwanted tree removal.
-Fencing around waterbodies will prevent beavers from accessing that area.
-Some humane traps are available to relocate beavers; but note, some beavers will return to the site after relocation.

Do not interfere with Beavers unless they are flooding your home or living space. Keep your distance from Beavers for safety.

Beaver Safety
Beavers can carry Giardia, which is an infectious disease that can be passed on to humans through infected water sources and f***s. Please contact your healthcare professional if you are concerned about infection.

In Building New Structures…
Take care to build new structures away from running water and wetlands where Beavers are more likely to make their homes.
