Native American Food Sovereignty, Explained - PBS Origins, 2024, 9:16 - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6LQD90ELcjI

This video examines the systemic disruption of Indigenous food systems in North America, framing the current state of Native American food insecurity through a lens of colonialism, structural inequality, and the concept of food apartheid.

From the video’s description: Today, many Native Americans live in food apartheid and insecurity. But it wasn't always this way. Once, their lands were abundant with nutritious food sources—corn, bison, potatoes, squash, and more. So… what happened? Forced relocation meant that entire Indigenous food systems were ripped away. This triggered a public health crisis and forced a dependence on government rations that just can’t compare.
