Honey bee and lady bug pollinating a sunflower in a cover crop mix trial at the Bridger Plant Materials Center. Bridger, MT. August 2017.

Watching for warblers that have been busy in an oak tree and I discovered that birds are not the only fliers attracted to tree.

 

If anyone can identify this critter more accurately than I can, please leave a comment.

What appears a common honey bee on a pretty blue flower. That is, until I can secure accurate I.D. This image was accidental. I was set up to get images of the flower, and in pops a honey bee. She posed for 2 or 3 images, and went on about her way.

The Pollinators are back and working feverishly to gather as much pollen and nectar as they can. I think they know the plants are disappearing so time is of the essence.

(Wilson, Michigan) – Students from the Hannahville Indian School (Nah Tah Wahsh PSA) enjoyed planting saplings including apple trees on April 12, 2012 at the Hannahville Indian Community nation as part of the USFS-funded Zaagkii Wings and Seeds Project

 

With smiles on their faces and dirt on their hands, the students had fun planting the apple tree and cedar tree saplings.

 

The planting of apple and cedar trees was the culmination of a native plants restoration and pollinator protection workshop at the Hannahville Indian Community in Michigan’s Upper Peninsula.

 

Kinomaagewin-Aki: Teachings from the Earth

Videos about the workshop that include the children can be found at:

www.youtube.com/ZaagkiiTV

www.WingsAndSeeds.org

 

During the Hannahville workshop, a northern Michigan Native American elder said he believes something is amiss in nature and encouraged tribal communities to join with non-tribal partners for pollinator protection and the restoration of native plants.

 

A crisis is imminent.

 

Honeybees and native pollinators such as bumblebees are declining at alarming rates as the native plants that sustain them are decreasing due to habitat loss via non-native invasive plants.

 

“It is your responsibility – as well as ours – to be tenders of the garden,” said Earl Meshigaud, Hannahville Potawatomi Indian Community Tribal Council Member and Culture Department Director. “That’s what we were put here for – to take care of God’s Creation.”

 

The workshop and other related projects like a tribal greenhouse are examples of Native American tribes and the U.S. Forest Service working together to restore native plants and protect pollinators.

The workshop was entitled:

Kinomaagewin-Aki

Teachings from the Earth

 

A Native Plants Restoration and Pollinator Protection Workshop – For Native American Tribal Communities in Northern Michigan

 

Insights into traditional Native cultural teachings, medicinal plants and challenges facing native plants restoration efforts in Indian country

 

An overview of native plant restoration and pollinator protection efforts among Native American tribal communities

 

Perspectives from the U.S. Forest Service on grant possibilities and technical support

 

Sponsored by the Cedar Tree Institute in collaboration with the U.S. Forest Service and the Hannahville Indian Community

 

Representatives of 5 tribal communities attended the April 2012 pollinator protection and native plants restoration workshop hosted by the Hannahville Indian Community

 

Represented at the workshop:

The Hannahville Indian Community

The Keweenaw Bay Indian Community (KBIC)

The Sault Ste. Marie Band of Chippewa Indians

Lac Vieux Desert Band of Lake Superior Chippewa Indians

Menominee Indian Tribe of Wisconsin (MITW)

Center for Native American Studies at Northern Michigan University

 

The Hannahville meeting was the third in a series of Zaagkii Project/U.S. Forest Service tribal workshops in northern Michigan.

Prior workshops were held in July 2012 at KBIC and July 2011 at Presque Isle Park in Marquette.

 

The fourth workshop will be on Thursday, Sept. 13 and Friday, Sept., 14, 2012 at Lac Vieux Desert (LVD) near Watersmeet, Michigan.

The LVD workshop will include pollinator protection and native plants restoration information with a focus on wild rice, among other topics.

 

Zaagkii Project sponsors include Keweenaw Bay Indian Community, United States Forest Service (USFS), Marquette County Juvenile Court, U.P. Children's Museum and the Center for Native American Studies at Northern Michigan University

 

The Zaagkii Project is coordinated by the Cedar Tree Institute, a nonprofit organization that provides services and initiates projects in the areas of mental health, religion and the environment.
