Indigenous, Inuit and other more remote Canadian non-native communities are being deprived of year
round, quality, fresh produce that is unfairly priced. As a result, these communities suffer from a lack of
natural, healthy, day-to-day nutrition because of consistently over-priced, substandard produce which is
delivered to their communities infrequently.
To date, the only solutions that have been implemented is to provide Northern Food subsidies to some
communities. While this might lower some prices, it does nothing to address the quality and availability of
fresh produce and other natural foods, fruits and vegetables, nor has it guaranteed remoteness Federal
food subsidies make it to the indigenous families dinner tables.

“We must look after this land given to us by the Great Spirit – don’t sell the land! Don’t waste the trees! We have to help each other. Our young people need training of the way we were. We need to educate our young people as professionals and use our elders as counselors.
We should be positive about life, loving one another and thanking the creator for this guidance and wisdom.
Sharing, that’s the traditional way, Sharing is good, Sharing our ideas and thoughts at gatherings with all Nations will foster growth. Sharing an idea is like a seed, It will grow. Elders must be recognized for the great knowledge which they can offer to leaders and their people during times of struggle and change. Take time with the elders and be patient waiting for their answers.
Be glad of life because it gives you the chance to love, to work and to look up at the stars. Think Seldom of your enemies and often of your friends, and every day of the Creator.”
