"Choctaw Food tells the story of a group of people and the land. Through hundreds of generations living in the American Southeast, Choctaw ancestors wove the region's landscapes into their language, culture, and food. The foodway that they developed was local and productive. Its dishes were flavorful and healthy. Its food production activities brought the community together in a way that was sustainable on the land. Today, this foodway is one of the most threatened parts of our traditional culture. Yes, it contains timeless insights that have the potential to improve quality of life in the 21st century. The pages of this book delve deep into Choctaw history to bring to light the type of practical knowledge needed to bring Indigenous Choctaw food back to the family dinner table. This story is uniquely Choctaw, and yet, it is connected with the heritage of everyone who has ancestors that lived closely with the land."--Page 4 of cover.

Centuries of colonization and other factors have disrupted indigenous communities’ ability to control their own food systems. This volume explores the meaning and importance of food sovereignty for Native peoples in the United States, and asks whether and how it might be achieved and sustained. Unprecedented in its focus and scope, this collection addresses nearly every aspect of indigenous food sovereignty, from revitalizing ancestral gardens and traditional ways of hunting, gathering, and seed saving to the difficult realities of racism, treaty abrogation, tribal sociopolitical factionalism, and the entrenched beliefs that processed foods are superior to traditional tribal fare. The contributors include scholar-activists in the fields of ethnobotany, history, anthropology, nutrition, insect ecology, biology, marine environmentalism, and federal Indian law, as well as indigenous seed savers and keepers, cooks, farmers, spearfishers, and community activists. After identifying the challenges involved in revitalizing and maintaining traditional food systems, these writers offer advice and encouragement to those concerned about tribal health, environmental destruction, loss of species habitat, and governmental food control.
