Re-centering Indigenous Foodways and Food Sovereignty in North America

With Professor Joy Porter and Dr Tabitha Robin (Martens).

Food is the foundation for life. Using the past to inform the present, this webinar will explore Indigenous foodways and the politics of food sovereignty across deep time in North America.

Featuring exceptional new scholarship from the mixed ancestry Cree researcher, educator and writer Dr Tabitha Robin (Martens) and Professor Joy Porter, Project Lead of the Treatied Spaces Research Cluster at the University of Hull.
