Melodi is a mother, grandmother, sister, auntie, activist, community builder, a mentor and educator, a knowledge and truth seeker, and a student and teacher of food and medicine gathering.  

Relevance, people, place, prairiegrassroots in Spokane Country.   

Tribal created Sustainable Community Master Plan, food sovereignty language.  

Language to clean, clear, recognize a shift of what is being shed and what we are (re)building.  

New/old, old/new, old/old knowledge, ways of knowing, being, doing.  

COLLAPSE to BUILD; RAZE to CLEAR: capitalist economic food system collapse; community food inequity exists; growth and focus on food sovereignty for health and our freedom; defining an evolving food system  

Mainstream Media focal points vs Peoplestream Media - celebrate, honor, witness the shift and responsibility of HUGE inequity to be broken down into a NEW, OLD working model of community, food, education, society  

Personal trajectory being reawakened to surge to new norms that will serve, spread knowledge and power to people, stories, medicines, respect  STRENGTH now, how we can, and forever...in love
