However, the legacy of colonialism worked to nearly sever this symbiotic relationship by imposing barriers and invisibilizing Indigenous food systems. But these, like so many Native rights throughout history, have too often been undermined and broken. This was a watershed moment in the struggle for Indigenous sovereignty, heralding a new era of cooperation and empowerment. It also serves as a reminder of the ongoing struggle for food sovereignty a half-century later. To address these challenges, we must embrace a holistic approach to Indigenous food sovereignty, one that recognizes the interconnectedness of land, culture, and community.
