Architects of Abundance: Indigenous Regenerative Food Systems and the Excavation of Hidden History with Lyla June
Dr. Lyla June Johnston will share ways in which Indigenous food systems of the past and present teach us how to relate to our inner and outer world. These highly successful systems have been proven to operate based on respect, reverence, responsibility, and reciprocity. How can we give these things to the world and to ourselves? How does inward behavior relate to our outward behavior? Dr. Lyla June Johnston will explore these questions and more in this talk.

what is the name of the cane or bamboo so we can start planting it
Does cultivating animacy in our inner world cultivate respect, reverence, responsibility, and reciprocity in our relationships with the outer world and how can we go about that without cultural appropriation?
I love this. My family and friends I have had for years while they are a huge support in some ways, they don’t understand yet why I am so deep into all this. They think I am just fascinated with gardening. I finally feel more accepted by the permaculture communities and understood so much more than other circles I have been in that have made me feel crazy for talking about all this.
Thank you so much for your hard work and helping us all to put the puzzle pieces together. Permaculture has helped me heal in so many ways. My yard is the only green one in the neighborhood right now because of all the biodiversity I have been working to add including in the soil with biochar, rockdust and so much more. I was doing Compost teas and biochar on small scales before. This year I have upped the game with more biochar and advanced compost teas with EM, IMO and so much more
We can all be weird and crazy together…we are the seeds…or some of many who will nourish the earth…speak for it and all life here and grow together…so this beautiful place our earth is even more beautiful…many voices singing together…one of many…to lift…each other and all life here. Love and respect…to Lyla June you and all here.
Thank you so much for your great work Dr. Lyla June!
I have downloaded your dissertation. I want to share with you a document that my twin brother and I created to bring forward the past regenerative agriculture practices to the present:

Wonderful Lyla. That was very helpful and informative. Thank you for your love and your voice for all life here.
This was such a powerful presentation. Thinking of myself as a steward of the land instead of regenerating my soil to grow a plot “for Joe” is mind-blowing. Thank you, Dr. Lyla June Johnston, for giving me so much to think about.
Thank you !
Thank you Dr. Lyla June Johnston for the great presentation!
wow! I had chills the majority of this presentation! this feels like the most important information people should be made aware of in this whole summit and in general . Thank you soooo much for this talk and thank you to the ancestors for such beautiful ways of being that we can still learn from today. I’m so excited and inspired to research deeper into these topics and learn apply this in my life to heal my inner world and my community to realign with mother nature.
Just rough & tough Shining ! Merci.
Thank you so much Dr. Lyla June for giving your time and sharing your knowledge. I feel a restoration of our minds and bodies and inner relationship with ourselves in the west is needed so that we may not continue to project unhealed trauma onto Mother Nature. Certainly in the younger generation I feel there is a movement to heal and this is questioning our current relationships with land and people.
Great presentation, Lyla June.
Thank you for sharing the vast knowledge of native Americans and stories that for me personally were eye-opening. I love to see the truth prevailing like an avalanche over the past few years in all aspects of life, and I am grateful to everyone who has the courage to speak out. It is time. Much love!
