Indigenous Food Sovereignty & the Power of Native Plants: Rose Bear Don't Walk

Rose Bear Don't Walk is an ethnobotanist and a member of the Bitterroot Salish and Apsaalooke Tribes in Montana. Rose was awarded a "Fellowship for the Future" by 500 Women Scientists, for her program "Recovering Our Roots", which bridges science and traditional plant knowledge as a means for food sovereignty, improved nutrition, and cultural connection for the Salish Community. Rose speaks with us about this work and how we can all reconnect with and find new ways to value the land in order to thrive for generations. Rose holds a BA in political science from Yale University and a MS in environmental studies from the University of Montana.
