Sacred Hydration: Infusions, Ancestors & Listening to Water

Season 1 · Episode 2

Monday, May 26, 2025 • Duration 35:46

Let’s talk about our relationship with water—not just as a tool for hydration, but as a sacred, living relative.

In this episode, “Sacred Hydration: Infusions, Ancestors & Listening to Water”, Valerie explores how water draws out memory, medicine, and meaning from the world around us. Joined by special guest Mariah Gladstone (Blackfeet, Cherokee) – founder of Indigikitchen and author of Mountains to Oceans: Kids’ Recipes from Native Land, they share stories, wisdom, and even a recipe demonstration that reframes water as kin. This conversation reminds us of water’s teachings and its sacred power to heal. Because water remembers. It listens. And it deserves more than just mindless consumption—it deserves reverence for all the quiet miracles and great healing it carries.

The Berry Way of Life

Season 1 · Episode 3

Thursday, July 24, 2025 • Duration 43:19

This is the summer season. Breathe deep, take it in. Let the warmth settle into your bones, and imagine reaching out to collect a sun-ripened berry on a hot summer day.

This episode is all about berry medicine — why it’s good for us, the stories and reverence wrapped around it, and how these small, vibrant foods have nourished our people for thousands of years. Berries like strawberry, huckleberry, blackberry, and blueberry are among the first foods of this continent, present in our creation stories and honored across Indian Country in the naming of our lunar cycles.

We’re excited to share with you səswix̌ab Martha Lamont’s berry picking song, sung by Tulalip youth at the Lushootseed Language Camp, to be joined by special guest Colleen Echohawk (Pawnee and Upper Athabascan), a community organizer and longtime Seattle leader whose work uplifts Native visibility and Indigenous-led solutions to homelessness, food insecurity, and justice, and to be gifted a poem by her sister and dear friend, Abi Echohawk. Together, we reflect on what it means to live the berry way of life — how to bring ancestral food knowledge into urban spaces, grow what we can, respect the land and our relatives through our honorable harvest, and reconnect to the land even in the middle of the city.

When we walk into harvesting with intention — making offerings, prayers, and sharing our harvest with our communities — we receive deep nourishment in return. And as the elders remind us: the best time to harvest is the time you have.

Salmon Stories: Responsibility and Return

Season 1 · Episode 4

Monday, October 6, 2025 • Duration 26:35

In this episode of The Old Growth Table, you’re invited into relationship with the Salmon Peoples. Their existence holds stories of prophecy, reciprocity, and resilience. Joined by conservation policy analyst and Tulalip Tribal member Cecilia Gobin, Valerie explores the living legacy of salmon and what it means to uphold the agreements our ancestors made with these relatives.

We dive into the significance of the First Salmon Ceremony, the fight for habitat restoration, and how colonization has reshaped our traditional food systems. Valerie reminds us that caring for salmon is caring for the future — for the children who will one day sit at the old growth table. We discuss what it means to honor salmon and practice an honorable harvest by supporting Native fishers and Tribes — whether on the river, at the market, or around the fire at home.

Special thanks to the Suquamish Tribe for sharing their Suquamish Salmon Song, and to Cecilia Gobin for sharing her time, energy, and knowledge. Deep gratitude to the Tulalip Tribes for welcoming us to capture such beautiful footage.

Let’s take care of the water, the salmon, and one another.
