| dc.description.abstract | O-Pipon-Na-Piwin Cree Nation (OPCN), an Indigenous community in northern Manitoba, Canada, was flooded by Manitoba Hydro in 1974-75 and forced to relocate from its ancestral lands to a nearby settlement under dire circumstances. Regaining strength from their inherent cultural values grounded in their relationship with the land, OPCN subsequently formed a community-based food program called Ithinto Mechisowin (‘food from the land’) in part to respond to these impacts. This thesis uses OPCN’s concept of resources to present a nuanced understanding of Indigenous food systems in Canada. I have framed the concept of Indigenous food sovereignty as a counter-hegemonic knowledge-in-action practice that brings in the multilayered and anticolonial view of food and the role food plays in reinvigorating individual, family and community level strengths in overcoming a wide diversity of challenges. I explore the many ways in which Ithinto Mechisowin inspires reconnection with land, thereby improving access to culturally appropriate healthy food and strengthening Indigenous food sovereignty and creating pathways to resurgence. | en_US |
