Honoring Our Ancient Roots

Join Lucy Grignon of Ancient Roots Homestead to learn about her Indigenous gardening journey. We will weave together the past, present, and future to learn from our Traditional Seed Relatives and the Plant Nation. She will share daily rituals for slowing down, connecting to Mother Earth, and honoring our very own Ancient Roots.

This is a virtual webinar. Please RSVP HERE to receive the link. 

About Lucy

Lucy is an enrolled member of the Stockbridge-Munsee Band of Mohican Nation and a direct descendant of the Menominee Nation, Muh-he-con-ne-ok being of the People of the Waters that are never still, and Menominee being of the Ancient Movers.  Her work centers Indigenous foodways, cultural revitalization, community education, storytelling, and relational approaches to land stewardship and healing.  A Mother, community taught chef, educator, artist, photographer, writer, and advocate, Grignon brings an interdisciplinary and deeply place-based approach to cultural practice rooted in Indigenous knowledge systems, collective care, and intergenerational learning.

Her family owns an Indigenous Homestead called Ancient Roots in Bowler, Wisconsin, where they research traditional gardening practices from their Ancestors dating back from ages ago to present day.  They use a combination of ancestral methods to learn, preserve, grow, seed save, reconnect, and share.

Grignon is the co-creator of AncestralRebel, a collaborative public humanities and culinary initiative that bridges Indigenous and South Asian food traditions, histories, and storytelling practices.  Through feasts, workshops, talks, and participatory gatherings, AncestralRebel explores how food, kinship, migration, and shared cultural practice can function as tools for decolonial dialogue, community-building, and cultural memory.

Her approach to food, education, and writing, is inspired by her Ancestors, long line of lineage, Community, and learning from observing her older than human relatives.
