This is research that took place in Manitoba over 15 years ago. I've been working in this area for over 20 years now. What I saw was circumstances of extreme food insecurity in those communities. I did food pricing. I did a pricing of a nutritious food basket at local community stores. There was a food store on reserve, which is only two hours north of Winnipeg, by the way. It's a fairly southern community. I've been taking the perspective of more southern communities, as opposed to the northern communities.
As well, there were disconnections between the generations. I interviewed two generations of women, grandmothers and mothers. A lot of the knowledge around agricultural practices, animal husbandry, and planting crops for the community itself and for the individual families.... Much of that information had been lost, and that was only between two generations.
