The Rou Dalagurr Food Futures Magazine originated as a space to elevate and forefront the important work being done in Indigenous communities, with Indigenous voices at the center of research and engagement with food sovereignty, food security, Traditional Ecological Knowledges, and Indigenous Sciences. Our first issue focused on the Lab’s “keystone species”: Acorns, Salmon and Kelp featuring community based research and knowledges about how food futures will save the world. You can find the first edition of the magazine HERE. We are proud to highlight that the first issue of the magazine is now featured as part of the California Native American Studies Model Curriculum!

In our second issue we continue to foreground Indigenous voices with a special focus on youth voices and also highlighting the research of graduate students working at the intersection of Indigenous studies and decolonial futures. Our work continues to center how community voices are integral to how we build decolonial futures. We continue to prioritize open and free access to this publication and hope that you enjoy the work. Publication and printing of this issue has been made possible because of support from the Elevate Youth Grant California: Sierra Health Foundation and the Cowell Foundation.
