“Indigenizing” Food Sovereignty. Revitalizing Indigenous Food Practices and Ecological Knowledges in Canada and the United States
Open accessAbstract
The food sovereignty movement initiated in 1996 by a transnational organization of peasants, La Via Campesina, representing 148 organizations from 69 countries, became central to self-determination and decolonial mobilization embodied by Indigenous peoples throughout the world. Utilizing the framework of decolonization and sustainable self-determination, this article analyzes the concept of food sovereignty to articulate an understanding of its potential for action in revitalizing Indigenous food practices and ecological knowledge in the United States and Canada. The food sovereignty movement challenged the hegemony of the globalized, neoliberal, industrial, capital-intensive, corporate-led model of agriculture that created destructive economic policies that marginalized small-scale farmers, removed them from their land, and forced them into the global market economy as wage laborers. Framed within a larger rights discourse, the food sovereignty movement called for the right of all peoples to healthy and culturally appropriate food and the right to define their own food and agricultural systems. “Indigenizing” food sovereignty moves beyond a rights based discourse by emphasizing the cultural responsibilities and relationships Indigenous peoples have with their environment and the efforts being made by Indigenous communities to restore these relationships through the revitalization of Indigenous foods and ecological knowledge systems as they assert control over their own foods and practices.
Overview

Written from the paper’s full text.
TL;DR
This article argues that “Indigenizing” food sovereignty moves beyond a rights-based discourse to emphasize Indigenous cultural responsibilities, relationships, and the revitalization of Indigenous food practices and ecological knowledge in Canada and the United States. Using decolonization and sustainable self-determination frameworks, it ends with the Nuu-chah-nulth case of restoring ancestral homelands and food policies.
Key findings
- Food sovereignty was initiated in 1996 by La Via Campesina, representing 148 organizations from 69 countries, and challenged the globalized, neoliberal, industrial, corporate-led agricultural model; “Indigenizing” it shifts emphasis from rights to cultural responsibilities and relationships with the environment.
- Colonial and boarding/residential school policies disrupted Indigenous food systems: by the late 1800s, Indigenous youth ages five to 15 were removed to schools; from fall 1948 over five years, nutrition experiments involved close to 1000 Indigenous children at six residential schools; “store foods” made up 85 percent of diets; Indigenous adults are reported as four times more likely to suffer type 2 diabetes than non-Indigenous populations.
- Indigenous resurgence includes the 1994 Zapatista uprising, 2007 UNDRIP, and 2012 Idle No More; the Working Group on Indigenous Food Sovereignty, created in 1996, developed four principles of Indigenous food sovereignty: sacred sovereignty, participatory, self-determination, and policy.
- The Nuu-chah-nulth case involves 15 independent communities, the Nuu-chah-nulth Tribal Council formed in 1979, a November 2009 legal win after a decade to control fisheries, and the March 2005 launch of uu-a-thluk, guided by hishuk’ish tsawalk, uu-a-thluk, and iisaak.
Methods
- Conceptual and analytical article utilizing decolonization and sustainable self-determination frameworks to analyze food sovereignty and its potential for revitalizing Indigenous food practices and ecological knowledge in the United States and Canada.
- Draws on secondary literature, Indigenous scholarship, and narratives—including Robin Kimmerer, Ian Mosby, and Nuu-chah-nulth elders—rather than collecting original empirical data.
- Concludes with a case discussion of Nuu-chah-nulth environmental and food policies, including uu-a-thluk and traditional governance principles.
Limitations
- The paper states no limitations.
- Evident from the text: it is a conceptual synthesis rather than a systematic empirical study, with no described sampling, measurement, or comparative analysis.
- Evident from the text: the case discussion centers on the Nuu-chah-nulth and on Canada and the United States, and it relies on selected secondary sources and narratives, so broader generalization is not established.

The Conclusion links neo-colonialism to impoverishment and describes development projects and other forces that displace people and confiscate land. The Introduction also describes a crisis that reduced peasant farmers’ yields and food supplies. These passages do not establish that millions of peasants and Indigenous peoples were displaced or that displacement forced them into wage labor for the global food economy. (LLM, conf=0.83)

In “Christina Schiavoni” (page unavailable), the paper describes La Vía Campesina’s call to restore control of food production from large corporations to the people who produce food, rejecting what it calls the agribusiness-backed “failure as usual” approach. “The IAASTD and food sovereignty” (page unavailable) says the benefits of industrialised agriculture accrued disproportionately to transnational corporations over vulnerable groups and that agricultural policies and practices deepened inequalities. Together, these passages support the paraphrase. (LLM, conf=0.86)

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
A language model drew the claims from the paper on 2026-10-26, under version 3 of the claim definition (model deepseek-v4.1-flash, prompt extract-v3).
A second model labelled each claim on 2026-10-26 (model jev-1.13-20260917, definition revision gold-guideline-v0.2).
Cited sources are checked with a language model’s help (gpt-6-sol).
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
