For more than a century, county extension offices have worked to instill the importance of agriculture in young people through local 4-H programs. At first the programs attempted to bring outside practices to Native communities. But they evolved to incorporate Native farming and ranching methods to both educate young people and keep Native knowledge thriving.
Guests:
Dally Carlisle (Navajo) – 4-H member
Deanna Baier (Curyung) – tribal educator with Bristol Bay 4-H Club with the University of Alaska Fairbanks
Kristy Kinlicheenie (Navajo) – assistant in extension at the University of Arizona Cooperative Extension
