Source: Nourish
Year: 2020

Nourish aims to use the power of food to build health for people and the planet. Our Transition Practice Studies highlight the work of Canadian healthcare institutions innovating food culture and practice to advance this aim.

Sioux Lookout Meno Ya Win provides holistic, culturally responsive and appropriate care (minoyawin) through programming and healing practices informed by Indigenous wisdom. Because “food is medicine,” a crucial part of this programming is serving Traditional foods (Miichim).
