Godspeed Olayuk. #Nunavut #FuckSmoking

Bit of an unusual sighting this afternoon. On our way to the cabin we noticed a bright star that I first thought was Venus, but it was too high. Suddenly it got very bright, and then just as quickly faded to a dim point of light. #CabinLife #nunavut

Seeds of #Sovereignty: #Indigenous leaders affirm food as a right, a relationship, and a responsibility

Mon, November 10, 2025

#Toronto #Canada - " #RightToFood and four Indigenous-led Community #FoodCentres have released Seeds of Sovereignty, a new living brief that shares stories, truths, and policy recommendations from Indigenous food leaders across the country.

"The document is both a reflection and a call to action. It outlines six key recommendations aimed at strengthening and celebrating Indigenous food sovereignty including the enactment of an #IndigenousFoodSovereigntyAct, reform of food safety and licensing regulations, recognition of Indigenous law as legitimate governance over food systems, and sustained, unrestricted funding aligned with #Seasonal cycles and community leadership.

" 'The Western system limited our imagination,' says Raymond Jordan Johnson-Brown, Indigenous Network Manager at Right To Food. 'Seeds of Sovereignty invites policymakers and partners to step into the imaginary — to reimagine what #equitable food systems look like when led by #IndigenousPeoples.'

"Jolene Andrew, Director of Community Development at #Líl̓wat Community Food Centre, adds: 'We don't need permission — we just need to do it. This brief is a reminder that sovereignty is already being lived in our communities every day.'

"Developed through gatherings in #Iqaluit, #Nunavut (2024) and #Líl̓watNation, #BritishColumbia (2025), Seeds of Sovereignty amplifies the collective voice of Right To Food's Indigenous Community Food Centres and Indigenous Network. It highlights what is already thriving in communities — hunters harvesting country food, youth learning traditional skills, Elders teaching, and families gathering — affirming that food sovereignty is alive.

" 'Our communities are not waiting. We are organizing, harvesting, teaching land-based skills, and pushing policy,' the brief states. 'Food is not a service — it's a right, a relationship, a responsibility.' "

Short time lapse from last night. Missed much of the big display. Most of the activity was south of us when I went out there. Short because I wasn't prepared with batteries etc. #Nunavut #AuroraBorealis #NorthernLights #Aurora #TimeLapse

Made some polar bear deterrents today. Polar bears can get into cabins by standing on their hind legs and pushing windows (or doors) with their forepaws. #cabinLife #Nunavut

My view this morning after awakening at the cabin. #CabinLife #nunavut

The dark isn’t so bad. 6 pm. #nunavut

Off to spend the night in the cabin. You folks be good to yourselves. And kind to everyone else. #CabinLife #Nunavut

Was headed to the hardware supply for a piece of trim. Paused to take in the sky and ice. #nunavut
