The Menu: King Philip Corn, the healing power of Natoncks Metsu, and remembering Terrol Dew Johnson
Danielle Hill (Wampanoag) is on a quest to build awareness of King Philip corn, or weeâchumun, a red corn variety once grown by Northeastern tribes, but was targeted for destruction more than 300 years ago during the King Philip War.
Jason Vickers (Nipmuc) just opened his own catering and personal chef business in Seattle, Washington. Natoncks Metsu is the culmination of his connection to food sovereignty that helped him overcome substance abuse and homelessness.
Also, Native America Calling remembers Tohono O’odham food sovereignty advocate Terrol Dew Johnson with someone who learned from him.
They’re all part of this year’s final edition of The Menu hosted by Andi Murphy.
