The other thing that I think would be beneficial in terms of health outcomes and getting back to the land is.... We have a four-year degree program in indigenous sustainable food systems. Of course, that's going to make a big difference in terms of food sovereignty, food security and getting back to understanding our relationship to the natural world.
An investment from the federal government in program development that can address that capacity development with an indigenous lens will make a huge difference.
We have a program in indigenous language instruction, so we want to be able to graduate our own people to bring those things back to our communities. That kind of investment in programming in an indigenous institute would make a huge difference, especially in FNTI.
Thank you.
