Abstract: | Native American foodways are steeped in rich traditional history and complex assimilation repercussions. By encouraging readers to approach learning about Native American foodways with a culturally relative lens, I highlight the intricacies of food sovereignty within native communities. I explore how food sovereignty, traditional foodways, and systematic violence originated and their current impacts on contemporary Native Americans. I established myself as an Ojibwe anthropologist through the analysis of my reservation and used that to launch into an exploration of natives in the Great Lakes region. I discuss several experiences, including powwows, volunteer work, phone calls, and interviews. Based on a series of these anthropological interviews and experiences, I develop an argument that knowledge, accessibility, and ability are all necessary to instigate change and promotion of traditional foodways in Native American communities. |
