Tsilhqot’in National Government – Food Security and Sovereignty

In 2022, TNG conducted a study that addresses potential impacts of climate change on the location where plants may grow. TNG used scientific models to predict the present and future distributions of six plant species: Saskatoon berry, Labrador tea, Mountain potato, Trapper’s tea, Soapberry, and Chokecherry. The resulting maps indicate the potential for both positive and negative impacts to traditional use plants in Nenqay Deni. This work is a starting point for food security planning on Tŝilhqot’in nen.
