hishuk’ish tsawalk—Everything is One. Revitalizing Place-Based Indigenous Food Systems through the Enactment of Food Sovereignty

Abstract

First paragraph: My name is Charlotte. My traditional name is thlutismayulth, Carrying Thunder, from our whaling heritage. I’m going to talk a little about who I am and where I am from. I am from the Tseshaht Nation, one the 14 groups that make up the larger Nuu-chah-nulth Nation on the west coast of Vancouver Island. Before I begin, I want to pay respect to the First Peoples of this land, the Coast Salish peoples. Every time we enter these territories—unceded, recognized traditional territories—we need to acknowledge not just the people, the elders, and the leaders, but also the ancestors whose spirits still walk in these spaces. So, I acknowledge that before I begin. The material in this talk comes from a book I have been working on for quite a few years since I published my last book. So, who we are. The Nuu-chah-nulth are on the west coast of Vancouver Island. The traditional territory of the 14 nations also includes the western tip of western Washington, because the Makah in western Washington are our relatives (Figure 1). It was the border that separated us, but we are recog­nized as relatives and share the same language, the same traditions, and the same whaling heritage. . . . See the press release for this article

TL;DR

In this keynote address, Charlotte Coté (Tseshaht Nation, Nuu-chah-nulth) argues that revitalizing place-based Indigenous food systems through the enactment of food sovereignty is central to decolonization, health, and sustainable self-determination. She grounds the argument in Nuu-chah-nulth philosophies—*iisaak* (respect), *uu-a-thluk* (taking care of), and *hishuk'ish tsawalk* (everything is one)—and in community examples of whaling, communal fishing, harvesting, and a garden built on a former boarding school site.

Key findings

  • Indigenous peoples in Canada and the United States face the highest rates of food-related diseases—type 2 diabetes, cardiovascular disease, hypertension, autoimmune disease, and obesity—more than any other racial or ethnic group, which the author links directly to colonization and the boarding school system that removed children from their families, cultures, and traditional foods and fed them processed foods.
  • The author traces the food sovereignty concept to La Via Campesina (formed 1993, representing 182 organizations from 81 countries), which introduced food sovereignty in 1996 and whose 2007 Nyéléni definition is the most cited; the Working Group on Indigenous Food Sovereignty (WGIFS) was created in British Columbia in 1996 and developed four principles: sacred sovereignty, participatory, self-determination, and policy.
  • The 1999 Makah harvest of *maa'ak* (California grey whale) is presented as a significant revitalization of a marine-based place-based food system; the author notes that for West Coast peoples "the water is the substance, the land is void."
  • The Tseshaht Garden Project, planted by the author's sister on the site of a former boarding school playground (the school closed in the 1970s), is described as producing abundant food in its third year and as healing land and people—former students who experienced extreme hunger now eat nutritious food there.

Methods

  • This is a published keynote address (Place-Based Food Systems conference), drawing on the author's forthcoming book and her personal and community experience as a member of the Tseshaht Nation.
  • Evidence is narrative and autoethnographic: origin stories, Nuu-chah-nulth philosophy (Chief Umeek's *Tsawalk*), quotations from Robin Wall Kimmerer, Dawn Morrison, and Chief Mexsis (Tom Happynook), and photographs/videos of community harvesting, fishing, and gardening.
  • No formal sampling, dataset, or statistical analysis is reported.

Limitations

  • Not stated in the paper: the text does not include an explicit limitations section.
  • Evident from the text: the account is a single-author keynote grounded in one nation's (Tseshaht/Nuu-chah-nulth) experience and personal narrative, with no systematic data collection or comparative analysis; the author herself notes she had never used the term "place-based food systems" until the conference, and that Indigenous communities are distinct, making it "impossible to define food sovereignty in a way that reflects all of our cultures."

      In “The etymology of food sovereignty” (page unavailable), Patel says decisions about food availability shifted from institutions concerned with food security to the market. This supports a shift in control, but the passage does not establish that post–World War II overcommodification concentrated decisions over food, land, and seas in a few hands, or that policy was developed to meet agribusiness demands.

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.
