UW Geography Colloquium with Professor of American Indian Studies at UW Charlotte Coté (Tseshaht /Nuu-chah-nulth)
Friday, April 5, at 3:30pm in Smith 304


Presentation Title:

 “tiičʕaqƛ: Nurturing Pathways to Holistic Health and Community Wellbeing through Indigenous Food Sovereignty”



Presentation description:

In her new book, A Drum in One Hand, A Sockeye in the Other, Charlotte Coté shares many stories from her personal life and stories shared with her about Tseshaht and Northwest Coast Indigenous food traditions. Through these stories, Dr. Coté wants readers to understand why her community of Tseshaht, and Indigenous peoples worldwide, are revitalizing their foodways and reconnecting with their haʔum, cultural food, by enacting food sovereignty. Dr. Coté asserts that enacting food sovereignty is positioned within Indigenous struggles for decolonization and self-determination and is central to nurturing pathways to holistic health and wellness, what the Tseshaht refer to as tiičʕaqƛ.
