Module 1Self-pacedInteractive

This module introduces food sovereignty as a foundation of public health in Native communities. It explores the connections between access to traditional foods, community well-being, and self-determination.

You'll learn how reclaiming control over food systems supports physical, cultural, and community health, and why sovereignty is a public health issue.

What you'll explore

The interactive lessons move through real examples and reflection prompts. Work through it at your own pace; your place is held as you go.
