On 22 February 2021 The Christian Science Monitor reported: Mr. Cornelius [a member of the Oneida Nation of Wisconsin] is part of a growing 'food sovereignty' movement among Native Americans, an effort aimed at increasing local food production and reviving Indigenous agricultural and culinary practices. It's a broad-ranging movement that includes families growing vegetables in backyard gardens and an ever-expanding network of regional and national organizations devoted to fostering intertribal cooperation, sharing agricultural know-how, and promoting the use and preservation of traditional crop varieties.
