Resetting The Table, A people’s Food Policy For Canada: Indigenous Food Sovereignty Discussion Paper.

This policy discussion paper involves a group of community-based activists, scholars and storytellers who work on issues of food sovereignty. They are from diverse regions of Turtle Island and share fundamental beliefs towards the land and all she stands for. They discuss Indigenous food systems, how it’s inseparable and functions in healthy interdependent relationships. It also discusses how their nations developed many of the world’s great foods, such as beans, corn, squash, potatoes, berries, herbs and medicines for which there is no acknowledgement or compensation. For indigenous peoples, lands and food are at the centre of what it is to be indigenous.
