The Grand Portage Band of Lake Superior Chippewa has created the CACHE Project, which stands for “Community Agriculture through Culture, Health and Education.”
The acronym perfectly captures the efforts of the Grand Portage community as it comes together to share food from community gardens and to learn new and old ways of harvesting.
In Part 5 of the CACHE Project series, WTIP’s Rhonda Silence takes another field trip, joining the students from the Oshki Ogimaag School at the Sugarbush, or waaban.
