A few members picked what remained at the end of August in its early form, known as green corn, but it was barely enough to go around. There will be none of their white corn in the annual food boxes sent to tribal elders next year. And the harvest moon event, traditionally an important time for ceremonies and community gathering, has been canceled.It’s a stark reminder of the uncertainty in store for Indigenous growers as the planet warms and as seasonal weather patterns become more unpredictable. There will likely be many hard years threatening the food that ties Oneida people to their culture, the land and each other. Oneida white corn stewards and other Indigenous growers want to adapt, and are proactively incorporating sustainable land management techniques like using cover crops to try to improve soil health and bolster their land against future droughts and floods. But years like this one remind them that it won’t always be enough.

“We’re really up against some pretty serious odds with climate change. There’s a lot at stake. And so it feels very personal,” Zeise said. “It’s very hard not to go out to the field and feel just deeply sad.”Members Ohe·laku, a non-profit that works with the families planting crops, walk through a field of white corn, heavily damaged by spring rains, as they harvest the corn in its early form known as green corn on the Oneida Nation Reservation, Friday, Aug. 30, 2024, in Oneida, Wis.
