Social Gastronomy in Practice - Wiisinig LLC

In this episode of Social Gastronomy in Practice, we spoke to Derek Nicholas, the founder of Wiisinig LLC, whose focus is to revitalize traditional food systems among indigenous communities.

Wiisinig LLC’s mission is to empower tribal communities by reclaiming indigenous foodways. They aim to practice and conduct valuable work around traditional practices such as sustainable food production, seed saving, wild food identification, culinary practices, and storytelling. This work helps preserve indigenous wisdom and guides the creation of resources for families and communities. Wiisinig believes that reclaiming indigenous food systems is essential to offset the damage caused by colonialism.
