“Discover Wisconsin,” the nation’s longest-running travel and tourism TV series, will be highlighting Native American Tourism of Wisconsin (NATOW) in its latest episode “NATOW — An Agritourism Adventure.”
“Discover Wisconsin” presents an agritourism adventure, visiting 11 tribal territories that comprise NATOW, whose mission is to revitalize cherished cuisines and cultivation techniques.
“Working with the ‘Discover Wisconsin’ team has been an absolute pleasure. It is my hope that viewers see the true beauty in one of the many captivating ways that the 11 federally recognized tribes of Wisconsin continue to grow when it comes to food sustainability,” said NATOW Executive Director Kimberlee McGeshick. “They not only give back to their own communities, but to others as well with new and traditional ways in agriculture.”
Viewers first get a glimpse into a buffalo farm at Forest County Potawatomi, working to bring back purebred buffalo. At Mole Lake Sokaogon, “Discover Wisconsin” uncovers the technique behind wild rice cultivation and traditional dishes. For a quick forest tour and look into milling, the TV crew makes a pit stop to Menominee.
The tour continues at Stockbridge-Munsee, offering abundant educational resources and farm-friendly activities. Later, the crew visits the apple orchards of Oneida, managed organically with chickens, and Ho-Chunk, which has more tasty delicacies — healthy recipes rooted in tradition.
From foodie favorites to fishing hotspots, “Discover Wisconsin” stops by Lac du Flambeau’s fish hatchery to learn about the operation and reel in a few trout. After encountering Wisconsin’s elk at Lac Courte Oreille’s farm, they indulge in sweet maple syrup from St. Croix. The episode concludes at Bad River and Red Cliff. Both tribes discuss the importance of revitalizing native fisheries and harvesting techniques.
You can stream the exclusive early debut at 4 p.m. Nov. 20, available through www.discoverwisconsin.com, Roku, Apple TV, SmartTV, Google Chromecast, Amazon Fire and YouTube.
The episode will air statewide at 10 a.m. Nov. 23 on Fanduel Sports Network (formerly Bally Sports Wisconsin), and at varying times across local affiliates of the Discover Wisconsin Regional Television Network.
