Decolonization of Our Diets and Reclaiming


Traditional Foods, Jared Qwustenuxun Williams


WHAT


Food sovereignty traces back to our original teachings, to learn about the


connection between the land and our food supply and connection to


community through traditional foods. Decolonizing our diet means


incorporating traditional foods to preserve and nurture our mind, body and


spirit and eliminate diseases that have long impacted Indigenous peoples.


Jared Qwustenuxun Williams - is a passionate Indigenous Foods educator


who spent much of his youth with his late grandmother, immersed in


Salish culture. After Qwustenuxun graduated from culinary arts, he spent a


decade working in restaurants across Vancouver Island before deciding to


move back home to Quw’utsun to take the role of Elder’s Kitchen Manager


at Cowichan Tribes. After more than a decade of cooking for his elders,


Qwustenuxun now works as an Indigenous foods educator, writer, and


consultant. Most recently, Qwustenuxun was nominated for and won


several Canadian Online Publishing Awards; he was also nominated for the


2022 BC Multiculturalism and Anti-Racism Award and led the first smoked


salmon project conducted by the First Nations Health Authority. That


proved that traditional salmon smoking techniques are safe and effective


for food preservation. When he is not working on furthering Salish food


sovereignty, Qwustenuxun spends his time with his wife and children on


their small hobby farm in Quw’utsun.
