waq̓waq̓us: Moon When Frog Talks
Late February into March is Moon When Frog Talks, signaling the coming of spring. During this moon, nutrient dense foods appear, waking our bodies from the dark of winter. Spring greens are a welcome change to a winter diet of dried and smoked foods. Forage fish begin to run, which are high in protein and essential fatty acids. In this video we share the story of how nettles saved the people. We provide a demonstration of how to make nettle pesto. We share about the Swinomish Elders’ produce delivery program.
