Raccooning (Walk Talk and Foraging)
9:30 AM 鈥� 11:00 AM
Our facilitator Misty Underwood uses the term 'Raccooning' to describe their family's pedagogical practice and tradition of foraging, sharing teachings, stories, and/or locating medicines. The Walk Talk will begin in the Employee Community Garden where we will discuss some of the 'friends' in the garden and learn about the plants we can forage.
A Message from Misty:
Howdy y'all! I am Misty Underwood. I am a Muscogee and Choctaw descendent. I moved from Texas in 2010 for graduate studies. I have stayed for employment and am tremendously grateful and fortunate to be working with folks across 成人大片 with the goal of growing a new pathway for Indigenous learners.
The name Walk Talk comes from Akan 1992. The Walk Talk as a pedagogical practice comes from my Pokni (Choctaw for grandmother). Through our walks, my Pokni taught me how to approach the land as a relative and as my teacher. It was the foundation of how I was raised and has become a foundational element of my life and teaching practice. It is my humble hope to share her teachings by sharing this experience.
