New curriculum supports food sovereignty education
The Thunder Bay District Health Unit has launched an Indigenous food sovereignty curriculum for youth in 14 First Nations. Designed by educator Shy-Anne Bartlett, the curriculum incorporates traditional harvesting practices, seasonal foods, and cultural teachings. Available online, it includes resources such as videos in Anishinaabemowin, aiming to deepen children’s understanding of Indigenous food systems and improve their mental well-being.

As a 501(c)(3) nonprofit, we exist to illuminate tribal government for everyone who cares about transparency in Native issues. Our work bridges the gap left by tribal-controlled media and non-Native, extractive journalism, providing the insights necessary for truly informed decision-making and a better quality of life. Because the consequences of restricted press freedom affect our communities every day, our trauma-informed reporting is rooted in a deep, firsthand expertise.
