Jun 21 Restoring Native Pollinators (The Tribal Alliance for Pollinators)

“The Tribal Alliance for Pollinators (TAP) is a coalition of seven tribal partners — Chickasaw, Seminole, Citizen Potawatomi, Muscogee Creek, Osage, Eastern Shawnee, and Miami Nations — who are restoring monarch habitat on their lands with the assistance of Monarch Watch and the Euchee Butterfly Farm. The coalition has restored over 50,000 milkweeds and 30,000 native wildflowers to date on 350 acres of habitat in Oklahoma. TAP provides training and technical support for tribes throughout North America that want to conserve and restore grassland ecosystems in order to help threatened pollinators and to preserve the native plants that serve as the foundation for Indigenous cultural, medicinal and culinary traditions. TAP currently has a regional seed bank of plants native to Oklahoma that is available for tribes within TAP’s eco-region, and is seeking contributions to expand.”

Here are a few videos showcasing the Tribal Alliance’s educational offerings:
