Righting Our Relations with Food: Food Sovereignty from Buffalo to Bannock
Manage episode 311915743 series 3201071
In the second episode of Righting Our Relations with Food, host Miriam Sainnawap welcomes artist and buffalo champion Joely BigEagle Kequahtooway to talk about Indigenous food sovereignty from buffalo to bannock. Looking for a transcript? Click here!
Joely is an interdisciplinary Nakota/Cree/Saulteaux artist who comes from a long line of Buffalo hunters - she is a fashion and textile designer, visual artist, beader, storyteller and co-founder of the Buffalo People Arts Institute. She has a degree in Civil Engineering from the University of Calgary and another in Mathematics from the First Nations University of Canada. In her art she is inspired by the perfect symmetry in nature, and her mantra is all things buffalo as it connects her to her ancestral history and knowledge.
You can also watch Joely share her knowledge as part of a Righting Relations webinar on Our Mother Earth and Treaties, and learn more about the Righting Our Relations with Food series on our YouTube Channel.
Join us again next month, when we will be speaking with Denise MacDonald of the Saskatchewan Centre for International Cooperation about modern food systems in Canada!
