Wisconsin Fiddlehead Fern

Season 2 Episode 3 | 26m 1s | CC

Kaua’i farmer Valerie Kaneshiro, a mixture of Japanese and Native American, was raised on the Lac Courte Oreilles Ojibwe reservation in Wisconsin, her mom’s ancestral home. Forced to leave home at 15, disconnected from her Indian roots she so loved, Valerie tells a story of loss and rediscovery and the lessons learned while sharing an ingredient to a cultural dish found in Wisconsin and Hawaii.
