SUMMARY:Indigenous Food Sovereignty Panel - Land Back & Land Access
DESCRIPTION:Join Leslie Anne St. Armour of RAVEN\, Natasha Anderson of Minwaadizi Farm\, and Julian Napoleon of Amisk Farm for a panel discussion on land back and Indigenous food sovereignty. \nIn so-called British Columbia\, 95% is “crown land”\, and most is unceded; a small amount has been treatied back to Nations through the court system. What does unceded and land back mean? This panel will explore these questions and share ways that Indigenous farmers are accessing and stewarding land towards Indigenous Food Sovereignty (IFS) under the colonial government’s complex system of land title. Listeners will come away with ways to deepen relationships with the land and support the land back movement. We hope you can join for a rich and engaging conversation.\n \nDATE: Wednesday\, January 31\, 2024  |  6-8 PM PST \nLOCATION: Online on Indigenous territories. Join us from the comfort of your couch\, office\, tractor\, compost heap – wherever you find yourself able to tune in. \nREGISTER: https://youngagrarians.org/ifs-land-back
