Today, we're excited to speak with Teresa Peterson. Teresa is Sisseton Wahpeton Dakota and a member of the Upper Sioux Community. She is a passionate gardener, gatherer, lover of the land and author of several books, most recently the award-winning Perennial Ceremony.
Teresa talks to us about her love of growing things. That includes tending a large garden, where she forages for tossed salads and asparagus on the grill, and taking care of her land. She chips her own mulch. She plants perennials to sequester carbon and prevent erosion. And she's working on getting a couple goats to eradicate invasive plants.
One of her mottos is: When you know who you are, no matter where you go, you belong. Writing has been part of that journey of self-knowledge. Her latest book, Perennial Ceremony: Lessons and Gifts from a Dakota Garden (2024), is an invitation to readers to join her on a seasonal journey of stories, poetry and recipes.
The mother of three, Teresa lives with her husband Jay on just over seven acres overlooking the Mni Sota River Valley.
