Welcome to the

Regional Food Map

This map is organized into regions based on traditional languages, food systems and geographical features of the territories. These regions recognize the long-standing relationships between Indigenous peoples, traditional foods, languages, lands and waters. Each food region represents a geographic area where users can find relevant resources from that region.

This map is an illustrative depiction of the First Peoples territories of what’s currently known as B.C. The borders of both the Indigenous nations and colonial borders are not exact. This map builds on feedback from numerous discussions with Indigenous Peoples and advisors from across the province and is not meant to imply static borders or ongoing treaty negotiations in these territories. The creation of these regions are based on the hard work of language, food, and historical champions and the intention is to organize the map in a way that highlights the close relationships between Indigenous peoples, traditional foods, languages and complex ways of engaging with the land.
We share this map with great humility and care, acknowledging the inherent challenges with creating static borders to represent distinct Nations and language regions. We welcome your feedback; if you have any questions or comments, please do not hesitate to reach out to us at info@firstpeoplesfoodbc.ca.

The map is grouped into seven language regions categories, which include:
