Farmer Michelle of x̌ast sq̓it / Good Rain Farm will share with us how we can all incorporate Native Food Sovereignty, ancestral food tending and seed kinship into our land-stewarding practices. Learn how this local farm is expanding biodiversity and food justice!

Michelle Week is the owner of x̌ast sq̓it (hast squeit) which translates to Good Rain in the traditional language of the sngaytskstx (Sinixt). Michelle is of Sinixt—also known as Arrow Lakes—ancestry, a First Nations People of Okanagan country of British Columbia and north-central Washington. She is a first-generation female farmer stewarding the land, decolonizing diets, connecting with her ancestry’s cultural traditions and feeding people to help restore her community’s food sovereignty.
