Traditional Foods:
Looking Back, Growing Forward
The focus of our inquiry this year was exploring traditional First Peoples foods and practices, shared family recipes, and documentation of the essential relationship between people and wild salmon as "our most important Indigenous food and cultural ecological keystone species in the forests, fields, and waterways." (Secwepemc matriarch Bernice Heather).
How do food decisions affect our well-being in all areas of our lives?
How can traditional methods of subsistence be preserved over time?
What can we learn from Indigenous Peoples to help us conserve and restore BC salmon?
Four Directions Secondary would like to acknowledge all of the incredible community support we received throughout this school year. We thank all of the cultural educators, knowledge keepers, family and community members who generously shared their teachings and stories with our students and helped shape and inspire their learning along the way.
