Other Tribes
Building an Indigenous food sovereignty program does not have to be done in isolation. Tribes throughout Turtle Island are rebuilding and revitalizing their Indigenous food systems and are happy to share their successes and struggles, Indigenous knowledge, and contemporary teachings. Conferences and food gatherings described in the Conferences and Training Programs section are great places to meet, to share the community’s work, and to build relationships. Tribes are in different stages of growing their food systems. Whether programming is early stage or advanced, there is knowledge to be shared and gained. Learning from others can make your Indigenous food sovereignty program more robust by bringing in new ideas. For Menominee, building relationships with other Tribes increased our understanding of food preservation, introduced us to seed rematriation, and connected us to resources, (e.g. funding and content experts). Other Tribes become an extended family in which the love and care for Indigenous food thrive.
