*Abstract*

In her presentation, Dr. Coté will examine the concept of food sovereignty to
articulate an understanding of its potential for action in reviving
Indigenous foodways in the U.S. and Canada. Framing her discussion within
the Nuu-chah-nulth philosophy of *hishuk’ish tsawalk *– (everything is
one), Dr. Coté will then discuss how her people, the
Tseshaht/Nuu-chah-nulth-aht on Vancouver Island, are revitalizing
traditional food practices grounded in the principles of *iisaak* (respect)
and *uu-a-thluk* (taking care of).



*Bio*

Dr. Charlotte Coté is associate professor of American Indian Studies at the
University of Washington in Seattle. Dr. Coté is a member of the
Tseshaht/Nuu-chah-nulth First Nation on the west coast of Vancouver Island
in British Columbia, Canada. Dr. Coté holds a Ph.D. and M.A. in Comparative
Ethnic Studies from the University of California at Berkeley, and a B.A. in
Political Science from Simon Fraser University in B.C.

In 2010 Dr. Coté published her first book, *Spirits of Our Whaling
Ancestors. Revitalizing Makah and Nuu-chah-nulth Traditions*. Her other
publications include, “Food Sovereignty, Food Hegemony, and the
Revitalization of Indigenous Whaling Practices,” “Maintaining Harmony and
Keeping the Peace: Non-violence and Conflict Resolutions in Native American
Traditional Systems of Justice,” “The Spiritual Aspects of Makah and
Nuu-chah-nulth Whaling –The Guardian Spirit Complex of the Northwest Coast
Tribes,” and “Historical Foundations of Indian Sovereignty in Canada and
the United States.” Dr. Coté is currently completing her next book that
focuses on the revitalization of Indigenous food traditions and ancestral
ecological knowledge.

Dr. Coté serves as co-editor for the UW Press’ Indigenous Confluences

First People’s film series with Professor Daniel Hart.

Dr. Coté is chair of the UW’s wǝɫǝbʔaltxʷ  (Intellectual House) Advisory
Committee; a project coordinated by Dr. Coté and other UW faculty, staff
and students, to build a coastal longhouse-style facility on the Seattle
campus that will provide a multi-service learning and gathering space that
honors Coast Salish culture and architecture. Phase One of the wǝɫǝbʔaltxʷ
project was completed in March, 2015.

Dr. Coté serves as chair of the UW’s annual “The Living Breath of
wǝɫǝbʔaltxʷ” Indigenous Foods and Ecological Knowledge Symposium, which
brings people together to share their knowledge on topics such as tribal
food justice and sovereignty, traditional foods, plants and medicines,
health and wellness, ecological knowledge, climate change, and treaty
rights.

Dr. Coté also serves as president of the Potlatch Fund, an organization
whose mission is to inspire and build upon the coastal tradition of giving
and through philanthropy has supported and empowered Native peoples and
communities in the Northwest.
