Native American Food Sovereignty

Native American Food Sovereignty refers to the inherent right of Indigenous peoples to control their own food systems, including how they grow, gather, and access traditional foods. This movement seeks to restore indigenous agricultural practices, protect native crops and livestock, and promote healthy diets and cultural traditions. It addresses issues like land rights, environmental sustainability, and self-determination, emphasizing the significance of food not just for sustenance but also for cultural identity and community well-being. Ultimately, food sovereignty empowers Native communities to reclaim their food systems and strengthen their resilience against external influences.
