About First Nations Foods

The Student Encyclopedia of Indigenous Foods of Canada is an initiative by agriculture students at the University of Guelph (Canada) under the supervision of Prof. Manish N. Raizada (Editor) and a team of dedicated graduate students. The mission of the Encyclopedia is to share the rich food and agriculture history of the First Nations, Metis and Inuit peoples of Canada. The Encyclopedia is written in plain language, targeted to primary and high school students as well as the general public. Editing of the Encyclopedia remains in progress. The graduate student co-editors of the Encyclopedia for 2022 were: Gavin Brady, Charlotte Coates, Kayleigh Decoste, Courtney Higgins and Kurtis Pilkington. The graduate student co-editors for 2021 were: Renee Cosme, Luke Dojack, Olivier Herlin, Meaghan Mechler and Jessica Mehre.
