  • Foraging as Resilience, Resistance, and Reconnection

    Foraging as Resilience, Resistance, and Reconnection
    Oct 10 2026

    Foraging is a practice that dates back into prehistory. Living off the land should be an essential human right, but in 18th and 19th century America, that right was often revoked for enslaved persons. In this episode, our guest, Misti Furr, details just why foraging was important in enslaved communities, how it was used as resistance against enslavers, and why the practice is seeing a resurgence in descendent communities today.

We'll have a second episode about the development of the railroad (catch that?) in America later this month.
