Indigenous Food Sovereignty in the United States - - Native Americans developed a sustainable system of agriculture that produced abundant harvests without destroying soil fertility. Their system was based upon a deep acceptance of, and cooperation with the complexity of natural systems.

White settlers stole Native land and began farming it using simple-minded methods that rapidly destroyed its fertility, while at the same time instituting an interlocking system of policies that prevented surviving Native peoples from practicing their traditional agriculture or even passing their knowledge along to their children.

This book and its multiplicity of contributers nourishes an understanding of the importance of indigeneous foodways and provides inspiration advice to those who wish to bring them back.
