Ginawaydaganuc: Indigenous knowledge sharing, Indigenous food sovereignty and UN SDG Goals

This project aims to challenge unjust systems and policies and support Indigenous people in their efforts to establish their food systems and adapt to the new COVID-19 world. It will explore ways to address long-term pandemic-related food security challenges led by Indigenous organizations. The intern will gather information from experiences and existing research across Indigenous communities about existing challenges and potential opportunities to achieve food security and food sovereignty. Using this research, the intern will support the creation of an Indigenous-led knowledge sharing platform.
