Great Lakes Indigenous Farming Conference

The Great Lakes Indigenous Farming Conference returns again to our local area for its 17th year.

The conference, hosted by the White Earth Land Recovery Project, will take place at Maplelag Resort in Callaway, MN from March 5th-8th, 2020.

Over 25 Native herbalists, gardeners, horticulturists, community leaders, professors, students, and farmers from all four directions will share their knowledge with us. Come learn how Native people are restoring traditional foods, implementing sustainable practices, and collaborating with neighboring Native nations.

Moosejaw Old Tyme Dance and Music weekend

The Wild Goose Chase cloggers began hosting the Moosejaw dance and music weekend 30+ years ago to provide an opportunity to take workshops in old-time music, clogging, square and contra dancing, and other traditional dance forms from national and local musicians, teachers, and artists.

The weekend features evening dances on Friday and Saturday night, workshops during the day on Saturday and Sunday, and lots of jamming all day long. Other highlights include skiing, hot tubbing, a woodburning sauna, and four endless cookie jars.

Homemade midwestern-style food and lodging at the beautiful Maplelag resort are included in the registration cost. The weekend is open to dancers and musicians of any experience level.

Thursday night lodging available. No lodging available Sunday night.
