An Indigenous foodscape would breathe some much needed social and ecological resilience into the downtown eastside of Vancouver by realizing our vision of restoring Indigenous foodlands, establishing an Indigenous seed heritage garden, as well as building an Indigenous feast hall complete with large scale community kitchen for preparing, preserving, storing and sharing large amounts of food.

The road unleashed chaos within the Yanomami communities. Road workers brought malaria and many Yanomami died because they had no resistance to the disease.
