Focus Areas: Food Sovereignty

Partners: Boke Consulting, Northlands Dene First Nation, Sayisi Dene First Nation, Barren Lands First Nation, St. Theresa Point First Nation

About the Project: CIER is providing equipment and building capacity in food sovereignty in Northern Manitoba. Together with Boke Consulting, we’re working with community coordinators who are in turn helping community members create and maintain their own gardens. Eventually, CIER will support the community in meeting their own food sovereignty goals. Future goals include modifying a shipping container appropriately to be used as a dressing station This easy-to-access and easy-to-clean space will encourage hunting for traditional meat and can be a place to learn and pass down Traditional Knowledge.
