In January 2012 IEN and partners from the Minnesota Green Corps and the RailRiver Folk School began a weekly educational forum on Sustainability in our region of northern Minnesota. Sustainable Tuesdays or in Ojibwe language Ganawendakamigaa endaso-maadanokii-giizhigak, has tackled a wide variety of interesting topics on Sustainability including bee keeping, gardening, seed exchange and many others. We have found hands on learning around self sufficiency and sustainable practices and skills is something people really want to learn about. Please take a look at our wonderful pictures.
