NOURISHING THE LAND, HONORING THE ANCESTORS
A few years ago, Naiome Kreinke stood on a small parcel of land in Quilcene—her ancestral Chemakum homeland—and imagined what it once was: prairies rich with camas and wild berries, forests alive with cedar and song, and longhouses standing proudly by the water’s edge.
That vision has now taken root. With the help of many hands and hearts, Longhouse for the People—an Indigenous-led project rooted in cultural revival and land restoration—has completed the first traditional longhouse built in Chemakum Territory in over 100 years. It now serves as a space for ceremony, community, and connection. But the story doesn’t end there.
This next chapter is all about the land. Naiome and her community are restoring the native prairie by planting culturally significant species like cedar, rhododendron, and Nootka Rose. They’re also growing First Foods—nutrient-rich plants such as camas bulbs, nettles, Ozette potatoes, checker lily, and wild huckleberry. These foods hold deep cultural meaning and are more than symbolic; they’re harvested and shared with tribal elders from Jamestown S’Klallam, Quileute, and Nisqually. Each meal nourishes not just the body, but the spirit—carrying with it the taste of homeland, ancestral memory, and resilience.
THIS NOVEMBER, YOU CAN BE PART OF THAT STORY.
When you purchase specially marked Everyday Low Price items, The Food Co-op will donate 5¢ to Longhouse for the People. Your small choice at the checkout helps sow seeds of healing, justice, and cultural renewal, right here in Jefferson County.
Together, we can nourish the land and the people it sustains.

Gathering with family and friends for a Thanksgiving meal is a familiar ritual for many people, and we strive to serve our entire community well during this busy time of year. In recognition that the story of the first Thanksgiving perpetuates an inaccurate and harmful version of history, our co-op is joining food co-ops across the country to make a collective donation to North American Traditional Indigenous Food Systems (NĀTIFS) this November. Food co-ops will donate $0.05 for every Field Day product sold during this promotion.
This November, get ready for gatherings with friends and family with big savings on all Field Day products at the co-op. Save on more than 200 Field Day items — from maple syrup to wild-caught tuna to paper towels — from Nov. 5 through Dec. 2nd. Field Day is our value brand that offers high-quality, delicious food and household products at more affordable prices every day through Co+op Basics, making this savings event even more spectacular. Our lowest prices will be even lower!
Stock up on staples like rice, pasta, beans and olive oil. Save on tons of spices and herbs, as well as baking essentials including sugar, vanilla and chocolate chips. Find the foods you want for holiday meals, like gravy, pumpkin puree and stuffing mix.
