Indigenous food sovereignty and food security can be described as local efforts to transform and reclaim food systems, combat hunger and health issues, and become self-reliant and autonomous. 

​

My relationship with food sovereignty is community-based engagement, with a primary focus on working with individuals and finding their role within the broader scope of food sovereignty. I am a community organizer, and often coordinate and facilitate events, gatherings, and plans for individuals and groups to come together. 

 

Food sovereignty is not just about access to healthy food, but as a direct connection to the land and the traditions practices for thousands of years. Food sovereignty is a way to reconnect to past cultural teachings and to the land itself, healing mentally, physically, and spiritually.
