Working Group on Indigenous Food Sovereignty

Mobilizing Indigenous Knowledge, Wisdom, and Values for Transformational Change Since 2006

Welcome to the official YouTube channel of the Working Group on Indigenous Food Sovereignty (WGIFS). Founded in 2006, WGIFS is a grassroots-led, relational network that mobilizes Indigenous food sovereignty knowledge, wisdom, and values to support transformative learning across diverse communities and territories.

Our work is grounded in subsistence harvesting cultures and economies—the hunters, fishers, farmers, and gatherers who uphold the oldest living biocultural memories of humanity. We support Indigenous Peoples in responding to their own needs for healthy, culturally grounded food, while facilitating the systemic change required to decolonize land and food systems “from the ground up.”
