Indigenous Network
The Indigenous Network is a community of over 250 Indigenous-led, Indigenous-serving, and allied organizations that form part of Right To Food’s network of community food organizations.
Members of the Indigenous Network come together to share knowledge, build relationships, and strengthen Indigenous-led food work across diverse communities and contexts.
As a non-Indigenous organization, Right To Food recognizes our specific responsibility in this space. Our role is to support and resource Indigenous-serving organizations in ways that respect Indigenous leadership, self-determination, and local priorities.
We work to meet organizations where they are at, offering flexible and varied forms of support that contribute to reconciliation and resurgence.
Seeds of Sovereignty
Food sovereignty is alive and thriving in Indigenous communities across Canada. It means having the power to harvest, prepare, and share food in ways that honour culture, community, and relationship to the land. This short film takes you inside gatherings in Iqaluit and Líl̓wat Nation, where community leaders from Indigenous Community Food Centres and Right To Food’s Indigenous Network came together to share knowledge, strengthen relationships, and chart a path forward for Indigenous food sovereignty.
What we’re building together
Together, Indigenous Network members connect, share knowledge, and advance Indigenous-led food work throughout the year.
Through community-driven programming, the network supports organizations in their own distinct journeys, grounded in local teachings, priorities, and ways of working.
This work helps strengthen Indigenous leadership today while supporting future generations to carry these teachings forward.
Indigenous Network activities include opportunities to connect with Indigenous leaders across our partner network of Good Food Organizations and Community Food Centres, share and profile stories of Indigenous food work in action, engage in storytelling and learning, access new resources, and take part in campaigns and program offerings shaped by communities.
Connection, knowledge sharing, and Indigenous-led advocacy
Indigenous Network members come together through regular facilitated gatherings, spanning virtual sessions and in-person opportunities.
These spaces are shaped by Indigenous partners and focus on peer connection, shared learning, and relationship-building across regions and Indigenous communities.
The spaces also include conversations addressing food insecurity in ways that reflect local priorities and realities.
The network supports ongoing knowledge sharing through conversations, workshops, and informal exchange.
This work centres lived experience, practical approaches, and lessons from Indigenous community food work, including land-based practices, community governance, and cultural food knowledge rooted in local realities.
The network has created Seeds of Sovereignty, a living body of work created with Indigenous Community Food Centres.
It shares stories and policy recommendations that highlight Indigenous-led approaches to food access and sovereignty.
Seeds of Sovereignty also supports advocacy efforts that help inform and influence policy, in ways defined by communities.
