Seeds of #Sovereignty: #Indigenous leaders affirm food as a right, a relationship, and a responsibility

Mon, November 10, 2025

#Toronto #Canada - "#RightToFood and four Indigenous-led Community #FoodCentres have released Seeds of Sovereignty, a new living brief that shares stories, truths, and policy recommendations from Indigenous food leaders across the country.

"The document is both a reflection and a call to action. It outlines six key recommendations aimed at strengthening and celebrating Indigenous food sovereignty including the enactment of an #IndigenousFoodSovereigntyAct, reform of food safety and licensing regulations, recognition of Indigenous law as legitimate governance over food systems, and sustained, unrestricted funding aligned with #Seasonal cycles and community leadership.

" 'The Western system limited our imagination,' says Raymond Jordan Johnson-Brown, Indigenous Network Manager at Right To Food. 'Seeds of Sovereignty invites policymakers and partners to step into the imaginary — to reimagine what #equitable food systems look like when led by #IndigenousPeoples.'

"Jolene Andrew, Director of Community Development at #Líl̓wat Community Food Centre, adds: 'We don't need permission — we just need to do it. This brief is a reminder that sovereignty is already being lived in our communities every day.'

"Developed through gatherings in #Iqaluit, #Nunavut (2024) and #Líl̓watNation, #BritishColumbia (2025), Seeds of Sovereignty amplifies the collective voice of Right To Food's Indigenous Community Food Centres and Indigenous Network. It highlights what is already thriving in communities — hunters harvesting country food, youth learning traditional skills, Elders teaching, and families gathering — affirming that food sovereignty is alive.

" 'Our communities are not waiting. We are organizing, harvesting, teaching land-based skills, and pushing policy,' the brief states. 'Food is not a service — it's a right, a relationship, a responsibility.' "

How Indigenous food sovereignty can improve food security

Excerpt: "How can revitalizing Indigenous food systems improve food security?

Revitalizing Indigenous food systems can help diversify and localize food systems in ways that could buffer against food insecurity in a changing climate.

Dr. Grenz’s research team is working alongside Indigenous communities impacted by the 2021 heat dome and wildfires to understand the effects on culturally important plants.

'If you think of land as just vegetation and an aesthetic notion of what belongs, you’re going to have very different approaches and different outcomes to recovery than if you see that land as a food system, not just for humans, but for our animal, bird, fish and insect relations,' says Dr. Grenz. 'We’re working alongside communities to develop those Indigenized processes around wildfire recovery that honour Indigenous food systems, sustainability and resiliency.'

How can #settlers support the revitalization of Indigenous food systems?

Learn about the histories of the lands you live on and what the traditional food systems were, what they are now and what they could be, says Dr. Grenz.

Incorporating reciprocity into your relationship with the land is also important. 'Learn about the plants of those lands and find a way to invite them into your life. How can you take care of them, nurture them and steward them?' asks Dr. Grenz.

'One way might be to #Indigenize your own #backyard or #CommunityGarden. Or learn about Indigenous food system protocols and the concept of '#HonourableHarvest.' "

A Native Community Preserves its Food Traditions

Members of the Tolowa Dee-ni’ Nation are keeping #TraditionalFoodways alive in the face of #ClimateChange and human impact.

By Allie Hostler
November 21, 2017

Excerpt: "Changes in tribal food systems and lifeways began in 1853 as the #CaliforniaGoldRush brought a mass incursion of #WhiteSettlers. Making way for the newcomers and addressing the '#IndianProblem,' California paid a bounty for Indian scalps, which proved to be more lucrative than panning gold. The first session of the California State Legislature passed the Act for the Government and Protection of Indians in 1850, which legalized removing Natives from their land and separating Native families.

"Ceremonies were ambushed and villages were burned. In 1856, the U.S. government forcibly removed 1,834 #Tolowa to coastal concentration camps. By 1910, like many California tribes, the Tolowa population had dwindled—from more than 10,000 to just 504. Despite the 14th Amendment, the Act for the Government and Protection of Indians was not fully repealed until 1937.

"Relying on the knowledge held by the few families refusing to give up their traditional ways, the Tolowa persevered.

" 'My family managed to hold tight to our food, language, ceremony, songs, beliefs, and protocols,' says Jones. 'We fought to keep connected. We purposefully protected and passed along this way of being so it didn’t die.' "

Organic reach: #FoodSovereignty moves to the web

#ColonialContact brought foreign food and disease to tribal nations. Now, a digital generation is reconnecting with tradition.

by Kim Baca April 18, 2018

Excerpt: "When Native Americans were forced to assimilate — confined to reservations and placed in Indian boarding schools — traditional food preparation waned, forgotten in a world of processed foods and modern cooking conveniences. But [#MariahGladstone], who shops at the grocery store, hunts or receives food from family and friends, wants to show how easy, affordable and tasty Indigenous cooking can be. Her recipe for salmon cornmeal cakes, which takes just five steps and five ingredients, appears in a how-to video on her 'Indigikitchen' (Indigenous kitchen) Facebook page, which has more than 1,400 followers.

" 'There is also a lot of interest from Native communities across the country to revitalize their Native foods, not only for the health benefit but for the connection to our ancestors and to recognize our identities as Native people,' she said.

"Some Indigenous chefs are incorporating traditional foods in anti-Thanksgiving pop-up dinners, cooking without any dairy, processed flour or sugar, all ingredients introduced after European contact. This excludes #frybread, often considered a traditional Native food enjoyed at powwows and other Indigenous events. Few realize that frybread was created by Navajos in 1864, during their forced removal, when they had little to eat other than U.S. government rations of white flour, sugar and lard.

"But 'pre-Contact' cooking is more than a foodie trend for people like 13-year-old Maizie White, an #AkwesasneMohawk seventh-grader who writes about Indigenous food and shares recipes on her blog, NativeHearth.com. Her recipes include avocado hominy salsa, spiced squash waffles, wild rice stuffed squash and venison roast and gravy.

" 'It helps #IndigenousFarmers and local people who are growing the food to make a living,' said White, who was invited by #SeanSherman, an #OglalaLakota also known as '#TheSiouxChef,' to cook at the renowned James Beard House in New York City. 'We’re giving back to our community and it is much more healthier and much more economical to cook. It also brings us back to what was here beforehand and respect what was already here.' "

Fashion as a Form of Resistance (Against Trump)
Assembly Required with #StaceyAbrams

#Fashion isn’t just functional — it’s #transformative. It can be a form of #political #speech, like when Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez #AOC made headlines in a white gown emblazoned with “Tax the Rich.”

It can also be a statement of #resistance, as when the #BlackPanthers adopted black berets, a uniform that came to symbolize unity and power.

Understanding the #language of fashion is key to understanding the times we live in. It’s a translator for anyone trying to navigate this moment and one of the ten steps to #reclaiming #freedom and #power as we challenge norms and assert our #identity.

There's a companion website for #TheWoodsInYourBackyard ! Sweet! It also has PDF versions of the book (I like having physical copies of books).

The Woods in Your Backyard

"This web site was developed as a companion piece to 'The Woods in Your Backyard: A Guide to Your Woodland.' This resource guide was developed by the Maine Forest Service to help you understand the woods in your backyard and provide ideas about how to work with your property, whether you own a 1-acre lot or 20 acres on the edge of town.

"A directory of state agencies and natural resource-based organizations can be found beginning on page 3 in Chapter 1 and also in the Chapter 1 section below. These agencies are good initial contacts and a great source of additional information on a variety of topics.

"'Backyard Family Activities' are included at the end of each chapter to help you learn more about your property as a family. The activities are most suitable for older children and teens, and they all require adult supervision. Teachers and youth group leaders can adapt them for use with older students. When completed, the Backyard Family Activities also provide a planning framework for working in your woods.

So, my neighbor and I share a property line which contains a wooded area full of blackberries, blueberries, raspberries, sweet pea and other plants (as well as trees). We've been talking about taking walks together to see what's out there, figure out what's invasive, and growing more for the local wildlife (and maybe ourselves -- we've had some great blackberry harvests in the past). We both garden for pollinators in our yards, so it would be great to collaborate (and maybe include some of the other neighbors). I just bought a couple of books that might prove very useful with this endeavor!

Me and @druid went for a little lunchtime walk .

#Nature has spent decades #reclaiming the land that was so utterly destroyed by those who sought maximum profit from our resources.

They polluted our rivers, they tipped their spoil anywhere, they killed all our trees.

But, thankfully, most of these stains are now all but gone.

#Bluebells flower where once tar and oil poisoned the ground.

#Birds are now the only song we now hear.

All hail the blessings and joys of the earth, rivers, and sky.
