Dr. Jane Mount Pleasant expert in Iroquois agriculture

I stumbled upon videos by Dr. Mount Pleasant while researching the three sisters planting system. She is an expert in the field of native agricultural systems, both in academia and in conducting field trials, that demonstrate yield, complimentary protein profiles and numbers of people who can be fed from such a system. She is Iroquois through her father.

I copied this from her profile... check out the video at the bottom.

I really like her no nonsense style.

Tonight, I will dig up a bunch more of her videos and post them here. That didn't happen. I will get on to it soon.
