Timothy Cochrane’s Making the Carry chronicles the lives and labors of John (Métis) and Tchi-Ki-Wis (Anishinaabeg/Lac La Croix First Nation) Linklater as they made a place for themselves and their kin in the borderlands between the United States and Canada known as the “Boundary Waters” at the turn of the 20th century. https://www.worldhistory.org/review/312/making-the-carry-the-lives-of-john-and-tchi-ki-wis/ #Anishinaabeg #Canada #FirstNation #History

Made #manoomin (aka wild rice for you non-Minnesota people) to go with dinner tonight.

And because sharing is caring, here's the recipe we use. Matt made a cookbook out of our recipes that he gave to all his family.

Indigenous pronoun options:

When we speak of Sugar Maple, we say, “Oh that beautiful tree, ki is giving us sap again this spring.” On a crisp October morning we can look up at the geese and say, “Look, kin are flying south for the winter. Come back soon.”
