About the Project
A lack of food choice or limitation in food sharing networks is a significant concern for Indigenous people that are separated from their communities for short or longer periods of time. This research will trace the historical and contemporary food economies, both Indigenous and western or market based, since World War II in Indigenous communities located in northern Ontario, northern Manitoba, and the urban centres of Winnipeg, Thunder Bay, and Sioux Lookout.
