Indigenous Agroforestry Network Gathering: Blue Lake, California

We express immense gratitude to the Blue Lake Rancheria Tribe for hosting us at the Blue Lake Casino and to the Karuk Tribe, Hoopa Valley Tribe, and Wiyot Tribe for hosting us at site visits across last year's two-day event. Read Stephanie Gutierrez’s photo essay on the gathering.
