This is a synthesis of Indigenous-led agroforestry, and agroforestry more generally, historically and currently in the Southwest, including examples and techniques. It is one part of a collaborative project that has been conducted by Indigenous land stewards who have contributed in the roles of consultants, writers, researchers, and filmmakers.
Quivira’s annual publication started out as a printed newsletter and has served as a source for on-the-ground rangeland science, a place for stories and reflections from our community, and a resource on implementation of regenerative agriculture on working lands since the start of the organization. It has since morphed into a high-quality, professionally-designed and printed literary magazine that showcases poetry, written reflections, photography, artwork, and science writing that comes from those who are working or stewarding the land; very few of the contributors are professional writers, highlighting the lived experiences that they bring.
