We belong to multiple tribes, one fictional. We have accumulated educational resources from two tribes in particular, all publicly available on the web, though not particularly accessible. We ndns tend to be private to avoid our cultures being exploited so I haven’t shared these resources with outsiders, especially not in a heavily centralized format that might paint a target on our back, though I have been planning to leave some breadcrumbs on Tumblr to help reconnecting ndns with their self-discovery. I may share some of the resources I have here, especially if there are other ndns here. So, is anyone else trying to reconnect to their ndn culture? Where are you in the process, if you don’t mind sharing?

    That is interesting. Besides grains which we like from anywhere ig our favorites are definitely potatoes and tomatoes (both native and both nightshades). I’ve heard Europeans used to be afraid of them because they looked like European nightshades which tended to be more baneful. Now they act like these plants were a part of their cultures all along. Also heard some Europeans would eat a lot of maize though and get a vitamin deficiency because they didn’t know how to properly supplement. Couldn’t handle native plants so they brought all this shit over

    Ugh we are making ourselves hungry

    Yeah it’s disappointing and makes me worry. We kinda wanna uproot some of these plants but we’re nervous we’ll get caught. We found some great mullein which is very soft so if we take it we get to touch if for longer 😈

      Yeah they act like it was apart of their culture all along, they forgot the origin, without appreciatation for who cultivated such food prior.
