Ursula Curiosa lives on settler-dominated Kikaapoi territory where the Ohio River frowns. This Summer and next year, she is growing intercropped Three Sisters (corn, beans, and squash), along with sunflowers, under experimental conditions in mounds. She looks forward to finding out whether the sunny or shady plots are more productive as measured by weight of produce harvested. She is pushing into middle age with her two cats, lots of art supplies, books, writing utentsils, and notebook pages.
