Lucy Grignon is an enrolled member of the Stockbridge-Munsee Band of Mohican Nation and a direct descendant of the Menominee Nation, Muh-he-con-ne-ok being of the People of the Waters that are never still, and Menominee being of the Ancient movers. She is a passionate community-taught chef, educator, teacher, Momma, photographer, artist, writer, doula, and advocate for her community and the world around her. She is developing her relationship with Grandmother Earth. Her family owns an Indigenous Homestead called Ancient Roots in Bowler, Wisconsin, where they research traditional gardening practices from their ancestors dating back from ages ago to the present day. They use a combination of ancestral methods to learn, preserve, grow, seed save, reconnect, and share. They are working to reconnect to their cultural inheritance through the land, plants, medicines, and wildlife. Lucy's connections to her Indigenous roots come in many forms, from her language journey to the stories of her elders, her people, and their healing together.
