| ELDERS STORY 2020-26 We started with an 8 week prototype which was so successful we have not stopped since. Working with the support of the Pear Tree Fun, mixing elders with children from other tribes, we’ve had a blast. Here is some of our story. | |
 2025 We were scientists witnessing the growth on the newly planted 17 acres of land adjacent to Kaliwood. We studied the growth of trees, spawn and frogs. The pond, and in the drought the lowering of water. We saw the grass we had just walked on before and named the varieties. We learned the craft of Hapazone and eco-pringing and made beautiful sheets and scarves We ate squash grown on the land. | |
