Show Notes

Today we explore the difference between food sovereignty and food security, and why these concepts are so important for Indigenous peoples. We also talk about commodities and rations, food deserts and reservations, re-indigenizing your food pallet, and a whole lot more. We start off by diving into our own experiences with food sovereignty and how we both got involved in this movement in different ways. Annie shares her story about her experiences in New York with strong Indigenous women, and Turtle kinda just rambles along and does his best to keep up. He had a mild cough when recording this episode, so his voice is a little raspy and he’s not all there at times. But this is a fun episode on an important topic that’s at the forefront of the decolonizing movement around the world. ~ Here are some of the main ideas we talk about: - Our experiences with food sovereignty - The many layers of food sovereignty - Commodities, community health, and food deserts - Farmers markets and getting to know your food - Connecting with place and de-colonizing your palette - Decolonizing/Reindigenizing… going back to our ways - Food Sovereignty and Security Definitions - Policy Reform and Scientific Revolution - The power of sustainability - The power of words ~ Links and Resources: [La Via Campesina](https://viacampesina.org/en/) [Declaration of Nyéléni](http://usfoodsovereigntyalliance.org/what-is-food-sovereignty/) [What is Food Sovereignty?](https://foodsecurecanada.org/who-we-are/what-food-sovereignty) Food Security Definitions ([USDA](https://www.ers.usda.gov/topics/food-nutrition-assistance/food-security-in-the-us/definitions-of-food-security/)) ([Canada](https://www.canada.ca/en/health-canada/services/food-nutrition/food-nutrition-surveillance/health-nutrition-surveys/canadian-community-health-survey-cchs/household-food-insecurity-canada-overview/determining-food-security-status-food-nutrition-surveillance-health-canada.html)) [The Politics of Food](https://www.researchgate.net/publication/248054867_Schanbacer_William_D_The_Politics_of_Food_The_Global_Conflict_Between_Food_Security_and_Food_Sovereignty) ['Rescaling' alternative food systems: from food security to food sovereignty](https://link.springer.com/article/10.1007/s10460-015-9623-x) [Beyond Food Security: Understanding Access to Cultural Food for Urban Indigenous People in Winnipeg as Indigenous Food Sovereignty](https://www.researchgate.net/publication/291831351_Beyond_Food_Security_Understanding_Access_to_Cultural_Food_for_Urban_Indigenous_People_in_Winnipeg_as_Indigenous_Food_Sovereignty) [Transforming Food Systems through Food Sovereignty: an Australia Urban Context](https://openresearch-repository.anu.edu.au/bitstream/1885/12953/2/Davila%2C%20F.%20and%20Dyball%20R.%20Transforming%20Food%20Systems%202015.pdf) [Food security, food systems and food sovereignty in the 21st century: A new paradigm required to meet Sustainable Development Goals ](https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/pdf/10.1111/1747-0080.12264) [FOOD SECURITY AND FOOD SOVEREIGNTY – THE CASE OF BRITISH COLUMBIA](http://dtpr.lib.athabascau.ca/action/download.php?filename=mais/700/barbleslieProject.pdf) ~ [Like this show?

#14 - Connecting to Place

Connecting to Place… what does it mean? This topic gets deep really quick and seems to be a fundamental aspect of human nature that philosophers and scientists have been talking about for thousands of years. So we figured... hey, if they've been at it for thousands of years, we can tackle it in an hour, right? Well, we did our best and seem to keep coming back to this notion that a connection with place has the power to heal. It also has the power to reveal knowledge and wisdom in a way that our ancestors were intimately familiar with. And we feel like it's one of the many ways for how we can begin to re-indigenize ourselves, no matter where you live. Some of the main ideas we talk about are: - IndigiFact/Stats - Philosophy of Place - History of Place - Photography as a way to gain insights about places - Personal Experiences with Place ~ Links & Resources: Voting Statistics from the [Fort Belknap Daily Herald](https://www.facebook.com/groups/Fort-Belknap-Daily-Herald-889137611181345/) [Wisdom Sits in Places by Keith Basso](https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/871243.Wisdom_Sits_in_Places) Basso, Keith.
