Culture 2020 Thunder Bay IYCFF First Nation Grassroots Group Mino-Wiisini (s/he eats well, likes what s/he eats) Funded Amount: $30000 / Projects / IYCFF / Mino-Wiisini (s/he eats well, likes what s/he eats) Mino-Wiisini (s/he eats well, likes what s/he eats) will be a project through the Indigenous Food Circle, that will engage youth and get them involved with food sovereignty initiatives happening in their community. Focusing on knowledge sharing, youth will get the chance to experience and explore Indigenous Food Sovereignty, land, community, culture, and traditions. Mino-Wiisini will provide youth with the opportunity to learn different ways to trap, gather, harvest and process traditional food and medicines in the region of Northwest Ontario with the help of elders and knowledge keepers. This project will give youth employment opportunities to secure an understanding of food sovereignty, holistic health and culture. Gaining life and leadership skills by engaging with the community and members, youth can be supported by their journey of self-discovery and purpose in living the good life (mino-bimaadiziwin) in which they are able to share with future generations.
