Our Mission at Ancestral FoodWays Collective Society

Honoring Ancestral Wisdom for a Sustainable Future

We are dedicated to revitalizing traditional food practices to foster community resilience.<br/>Our grassroots initiatives aim to educate and empower individuals in understanding the significance of ancestral foodways.<br/>In recognition of the land on which our Ancestral Food Ways Collective Society operates, we acknowledge that our waving community heart is situated in the heart of East Vancouver, within Strathcona Park, traditionally known as medicine ditch, on the unceded and occupied territories of the Skwxwú7mesh (Squamish), Səl̓ílwətaʔ/Selilwitulh (Tsleil-Waututh), and xʷməθkwəy̓əm (Musqueam) Nations. We also deeply respect and adhere to the customs and laws of these hosting Indigenous nations.
