Episode notes

Indigenous food sovereignty—and the lack thereof—is intimately linked to histories of colonial oppression and present-day exploitative capitalism and extractivism. Nonetheless, as this episode’s guest Kaylee Michnik shows us, rebuilding sovereignty can happen through intergenerational learning, land-based practices, and relationality. During the Amuse Bouche segment, Alexia Moyer tells host David Szanto about the tasty and tenuous history of camas cultivation by Coast Salish peoples. And in the After Taste, Courtney Vaughan responds to Kaylee’s article, “Moving Your Body, Soul, and Heart to Share and Harvest Food” from Vol. 8 No. 2 of Canadian Food Studies ...
