More about Indigenous foodways
Indigenous foodways are deeply rooted in the cultural, historical, and ecological contexts of Indigenous Communities. They encompass a wide range of practices and knowledge systems that have been passed down through generations. These foodways are not just about sustenance; they embody a holistic understanding of the relationship between people, land, and food. Indigenous foodways are integral to cultural identity, knowledge systems, and environmental stewardship. They reflect a deep understanding of the environment and its resources, and they often promote biodiversity and protect ecosystems.
The speaker, Karli Moore, is a Stanford University Ph.D. candidate in environment and resources, a researcher, and a member of the Lumbee Tribe in North Carolina. Moore grew up on a family farm near Prospect, NC, and aspires to advance food sovereignty and economic development for Indigenous communities through sustainable agriculture practices and policies.
This session is being shared by the JMP D&I Action Team.
