PURPOSE: Canada’s colonial history includes many traumas created by residential schools and harms done through food, including forced farmwork, creating the conditions for starvation and denying Indigenous peoples their traditional foodways. 

This space is in-constant progress dedicated to Farm to Cafeteria Canada’s school community members and partners to share resources about the diverse histories and stories of First Nations, Inuit and Métis people in Canada.  It is intended to support ongoing individual and collective learning as we adhere our work to the Truth and Reconciliation process and Indigenous food sovereignty claim. 

Below are links to books, articles, essays, podcasts, movies, video recordings and more listed by topics. Most resources are free, and some are hard to read, watch or listen to. Your discretion is advised.
