"A Land Not Forgotten" examines the disruptions in local food practices as a result of colonization and the cultural, educational, and health consequences of those disruptions. This multidisciplinary work demonstrates how some Indigenous communities in northern Ontario are addressing challenges to food security through the restoration of land-based cultural practices. Improving Indigenous health, food security, and sovereignty means reinforcing practices that build resiliency in ecosystems and communities. As this book contends, this includes facilitating productive collaborations and establishing networks of Indigenous communities and allies to work together in promotion and protection of Indigenous food systems. This will influence diverse groups and encourage them to recognize the complexity of colonial histories and the destructive health impacts in Indigenous communities. In addition to its multidisciplinary lens, the authors employ a community based participatory approach that privileges Indigenous interests and perspectives. "A Land Not Forgotten" provides a comprehensive picture of the food security and health issues Indigenous peoples are encountering in Canada's rural north."-- Provided by publisher Analysis Canada Food Security, Community Development, Canada, Nothern, Colonization, Nutrition, Health, Community Activism HEALTH & FITNESS / Diet & Nutrition / Nutrition SOCIAL SCIENCE / Ethnic Studies / Native American Studies Bibliography Includes bibliographical references and index Subject Indians of North America -- Food -- Ontario, Northern Indians of North America -- Health and hygiene -- Ontario, Northern Indians of North America -- Land tenure -- Ontario, Northern Indians of North America -- Ontario, Northern -- Social conditions Food security -- Ontario, Northern Local foods -- Ontario, Northern Food -- Social aspects -- Ontario, Northern Indians of North America.
