| Summary: | "Through research and case studies, Indigenous and non-Indigenous food scholars and community practitioners explore the concepts, practices, and contemporary issues of various Indigenous food systems across Canada, including Anishinaabeg, Asatiwisipe, Cree, Métis, Migmag, and Tsartlip Nations. They also document community experiences and perspectives on these food systems, demonstrating how different Indigenous communities are leading the way to design and implement community-based initiatives in collaborative and cooperative spirit with other Indigenous communities, organizations, and non-Indigenous allies to improve health, well-being, and food security of current and future generations of Indigenous Peoples as well as other citizens of Canada. In particular, the chapters of this book highlight (a) the salient features of Indigenous food systems, (b) some of the barriers and challenges to Indigenous food systems, and (c) the potential solutions to address these barriers and reclaim cultural identity and resurgence, thereby achieving food security and food sovereignty."-- "Through research and case studies, Indigenous and non-Indigenous food scholars and community practitioners explore the concepts, practices, and contemporary issues of various Indigenous food systems across Canada, including Anishinaabeg, Asatiwisipe, Cree, Métis, Migmag, and Tsartlip Nations.
