How the Kweseltken Project grows food sovereignty for Central Interior First Nations

In this article, the Kweseltken Food Sovereignty Program is highlighted as a Secwépemc initiative promoting food security and community well-being through sustainable horticulture and traditional knowledge. The program addresses food accessibility challenges, particularly in Indigenous communities, by distributing produce, hosting workshops, and creating spaces for intergenerational learning. Projects like the Berry Walk and community gardens serve as living memorials and spaces for healing, connecting people to nature and their cultural roots. By blending Indigenous and Western practices, Kweseltken fosters resilience and a sustainable future while preserving and revitalizing traditional food systems.
