Colonization and assimilation took away customs and traditional foods from Native communities.
Now, local chefs, educators and nutritionists are bringing back Indigenous knowledge of food systems.
- Food sovereignty is people making conscious efforts and choices every single day through feeding themselves to maintain a food system that our ancestors have tended and taken care of and perfected.
- Crosscut's video series, "Deeply Rooted," looks at how growing and serving traditional, locally sourced foods helps people reconnect to the land and to their history, in the process, making choices better for both the environment and their health.
- [Man] I believe that the food renaissance right now with Native cuisine has a lot to do with how many industries have made people sick in this country.
(bird calling) - [Woman] For my community, food justice and environmental justice are not separate.
