Sovereign Table: Traditional Foods Shaping Future Diets

From tea to meat, the Indigenous food sovereignty movement is gaining momentum in Montana.

Sovereign Table explores the concepts, challenges, and opportunities of the food sovereignty movement in Montana. Follow the story of food sources from abundance to starvation, commodities to food deserts. Now in an era of self-determination, Indigenous people, organizations, and tribes are utilizing their right to cultivate traditional foods, ushering in an era of cultural healing.

This documentary from Montana PBS goes beyond the plate, painting portraits of the people recovering traditional food sources and following their efforts to share this knowledge with others.

Sovereign Table is produced in the traditional homelands of the Amskapi Piikani, Anishinaabe Apsaalooke, Chippewa Cree, Ktunaxa, Shoshone and Selis people and in the sovereign nations of the Blackfeet, Chippewa Cree of Rocky Boy, Confederated Salish and Kooteani, Crow, and Eastern Shoshone and Northern Arapahoe tribes.
