Episode 5: Architects of Abundance with Dr. Lyla June and Desirae Harp

July 20, 2023--Episode 5 features a recording of Dr. Lyla June and Desirae Harp performing at an extraordinary event on Food Sovereignty organized by the local nonprofit Native Health in Native Hands, a native led, native run 501c3 nonprofit, created by Kinest'e people.

The ancestral homelands of the Kinest'e, now called Wailaki, are in Northern Mendocino, Southern Humboldt, and Southwestern Trinity counties. 

Episode 5 begins with excerpts of Lyla and Desi’s powerful original music and poetry. In the second half of the episode, Dr. Lyla June gives a talk called “Architects of Abundance,” based on her PhD research into Indigenous land use and food systems. Then Desirae Harp explores how Language and the Land Shape Each Other Over Time.
