Native American Paths to Food Sovereignty and Sustainability
Shelbi Fitzpatrick '19 says her interest in foods that are locally raised or grown according to culturally appropriate norms dates back to her childhood on the Blackfeet Indian Reservation in northern Montana.“My dad is a rancher, so I’ve grown up learning about and understanding food systems and specifically how they relate to indigenous people,” she says. From that experience, I was chosen to attend different kinds of food conferences, which led me to a group that advocates in Washington, D.C., for Indian farmers and ranchers. I‘ve taken some leadership roles, educating youth about how they can become more food sovereign in their communities.”
