Indigenous Food Sovereignty from the Ground Up

At a grassroots level,the Indigenous food sovereignty approach seeks to reconcile Indigenous
environmental ethics and cultural protocols with the re-establishment
of community-based economies. Indigenous food sovereignty provides
a framework for a speci!c policy approach to addressing the underlying
issues impacting long-term food security in Indigenous communities: it
serves to support Indigenous peoples and our efforts to uphold our sacred
responsibilities to nurture relationships with our land, culture, spirituality

The unpredictability of climate crisis (i.e. the lasting cooler temperatures throughout the spring), as well as the COVID -19 public health crisis has challenged the Working Group on Indigenous Food Sovereignty (WGIFS) - Indigenous Food and Freedom School (IFFS) and Wild Salmon Caravan (WSC) to demonstrate a chaordic leadership style. Since the COVID-19 lockdown we have convened monthly webinars titled: 1). Putting our Solidarity Economy into Action During times of Crisis, and 2). Indigenous Resilience - Fraction Action Plans.

Building on our 2020 Vision, we feel it is more important now than ever to advocate for the creation of an Urban Indigenous foodscape in Strathcona park. 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.

It's the 4th annual Wild Salmon Caravan and the dominant run of the sockeye. Come join the caravan and swim them home!

We travel together to honor and celebrate the spirit of wild salmon. Along the way we will share knowledge, wisdom, and values that highlight some of the most sustainable wild salmon fisheries that have persisted since time immemorial.
