Nourishing Generations with Love, Land, and Tradition
Rematriating Bison supports the return of bison to Indigenous lands through Indigenous-led, relationship-based approaches.
Rematriate (verb)
To return land, life, knowledge, authority, and responsibility to their original, life-holding relations often carried through women, kinship systems, and Earth-centred law, after disruption by extraction or severance.
Rematriating Bison is an Indigenous women-led, community-rooted initiative aimed at improving food security, maternal-child health, and food sovereignty among First Nations, Métis, and Inuit families in Saskatchewan.
By distributing culturally appropriate Good Food Boxes that include bison meat, traditional foods, and fresh produce, this project addresses systemic challenges of food insecurity and health disparities.
Rooted in Indigenous matriarchal governance, the initiative revitalizes traditional food systems, promotes community wellness, and restores dignity and autonomy to Indigenous families.
How This Work Shows Up In Community
Alongside land-based work, rematriation also supports community-centred food initiatives, including the Good Food Box program, which helps improve access to nourishing, culturally meaningful food.
• Supporting food access alongside ecological restoration
• Connecting land stewardship to everyday community wellbeing
• Reinforcing food sovereignty as a living practice
