For centuries, the Taos Pueblo people in New Mexico lived entirely off their land. Sustainable agriculture was a way of life. But U.S. federal policies helped put an end to it. Food wasn't grown at the pueblos; it was trucked in. Traditional farming gave way to government subsidies, and obesity rates soared. But recently, a surprising agricultural renaissance has taken root across the pueblos. On this edition, Making Contact's Rita Daniels takes us to the Taos Pueblo in New Mexico to share a story of rebirth and renewal.
Featuring: Leonard Archuleta, Taos Pueblo farmer and Red Willow Co-operative member; Shirley Trujillo, Red Willow Farmers Market Manager; Joel Glanzberg, Native American Permaculture teacher; Deryl Lujan, Taos Pueblo rancher; Shawn Duran, Red Willow Education Center Director; Ezra Bales, Pueblo Day School wellness coordinator; Hillary Duran, University of New Mexico at Taos student and Red Willow Education Center intern
