Episode 29 - Part 2, Decolonization of Our Diets and Reclaiming

Traditional Foods, with Dr. Kevin wâsakâyâsiw Lewis

WHAT

Food sovereignty traces back to our original teachings, to learn about the

connection between the land and our food supply and connection to

community through traditional foods. Decolonizing our diet means

incorporating traditional foods to preserve and nurture our mind, body and

spirit and eliminate diseases that have long impacted Indigenous peoples.
