dc.description.abstractThis thesis presents the results of a two year Feminist Participatory Action Research study conducted with a small group of Indigenous women in Treaty 1 Territory, Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada. In partnership with the Indigenous led, community non-profit organization, Ka Ni Kanichihk, I collaborated with Indigenous single mother client’s (n=8) to document their perspectives on, experiences of, and resistance to food insecurity, poverty, and racism in the city. Drawing on the concept of foodscapes- that is the sociospatial processes and outcomes related to food acquisition- we documented women co-researcher’s food journeys through qualitative methods including go-along interviews, individual interviews, food journals, and focus groups. Invoking recent conceptual progress on ‘the right to the city’, our results show that these women’s geographies are laden with highly gendered and racialized discriminatory processes and outcomes, which place single mothers and their children in Winnipeg at significant risk of persistent poverty and food insecurity.en_US
