School nutrition programs

School nutrition programs
School meals reduce hunger, prevent malnutrition, and provide essential nutrition not always available at home.
“Our kids really enjoy going to school and having that fresh meal provided for them every day. It has really supported my family.”
- Rikki, Parent, Neyaashiinigmiing
Home, school, and community gardens

Food forests

Food forests
A food forest is a self-sustaining agricultural system that provides fruits, vegetables, medicines and more. Food forests can feed families for generations while helping Indigenous communities re-establish food sovereignty.
“The food forest is something tangible that the community’s future leaders can take over after we’re gone.”
- Alfred, Muskeg Lake Cree Nation
Land-based education

Land-based education
The intergenerational transfer of knowledge from Elders to children on harvesting, hunting, fishing, preparing and preserving food teaches valuable skills that have been lost as a result of colonization.
“it's important for me because we can feed ourselves and keep the knowledge of our ancestors through many more generations.”
- Zoe, student, Lubicon Lake Band
Local food systems

Local food systems
Community gardens and food boxes provide greater access to and affordability of fruits and vegetables, especially critical in remote communities where options for fresh produce are typically limited and expensive.
“[Local food systems] help us to feed our people without destroying the land."
- Emily, student, Ahtahkakoop Cree Nation
Community engagement

Community engagement
Community engagement initiatives drive innovation in community development, strengthen opportunities for women in leadership and achieve tangible impact in overall health, wellness and community resilience.
“Traditions, revitalize the culture among the youth so they can reconnect with spiritual teachings and the earth.”
- Tim, community volunteer, Red Rock Indian Band
