Grand Portage CACHE project

The acronym perfectly captures what the Grand Portage community is doing—coming together to share food from community gardens and to learn new and old ways of harvesting.
Rhonda Silence learns more about CACHE in this series. The production of this WTIP series is supported by the Grand Portage Band of Lake Superior Chippewa and by the Minnesota Arts and Cultural Heritage Fund.
