Food Sovereignty Introducing Indigenous Culinary to K-5th School Systems

Abstract

My target goal was to increase Diné parent involvement for Puente de Hozho. On September 21st, 2023, Puente de Hozho established a Diné Parent Committee. I provided a Native American Parent Survey for feedback for Food Sovereignty Introducing Indigenous Culinary to K-5th School Systems. Food Sovereignty can be defined as: “The right of peoples to healthy and culturally appropriate food produced through ecologically sound and sustainable methods, and their right to define their own food and agriculture systems. It puts the aspirations and needs of those who produce, distribute, and consume food at the heart of food systems and policies rather than the demands of markets and corporations (Frisbie, 2018, pg 34).”
