AmericanIndian.si.edu for updates Don’t miss the ninth annual Living Earth Festival! This year, the family-friendly event focuses on heritage tourism, traditional agricultural practices and the importance of Native foods in our diets. A panel discu- sion features tribal tourism with Camille Ferguson, executive director of the American Indian Alaska Native Tourism Association, moderating a discussion on tourism in Na- tive communities. Presenters include Cheryl Trask of the Cherokee Nation of Oklahoma, Gilbert Johnston of the Quapaw Tribe of Oklahoma and Kyle Wisneski of the Oneida Nation in Wisconsin. Learn about how these communities use tourism to educate and provide a source of economic development. A new feature of the festival includes conversations with tribal groups making dramatic changes in their communities. Meet young farmers from the MA’O Organic Farms on Oahu, Hawaii, who are combating their “food desert” as well as high unemploy- ment and seeking incentives for higher education; young people who are learning about traditional foods and farming through Dream of Wild Health in Minnesota; and the Food Sovereignty Project of the Bad River Band of Lake Superior Chippewa. Other presentations include Native Natural owner Joseph Jaramillo (Isleta Pueblo), Cherokee Nation Tourism, the Oneida Nation, the Bad River Band of Lake Superior Chippewas Food Sovereignty Project, North Leupp Family Farms and a wine tasting featuring the award-winning Cedar Band of Paiute Indians’ Twisted Cedar Wines.
