In the dense rainforest of the west coast of Vancouver Island, the
Somass River (c uuma as) brings sockeye salmon (mi aat) into the
Nuu-chah-nulth community of Tseshaht. C uuma as and mi aat are
central to the sacred food practices that have been a crucial part
of the Indigenous community's efforts to enact food sovereignty,
decolonize their diet, and preserve their ancestral knowledge. In A
Drum in One Hand, a Sockeye in the Other, Charlotte Cote shares
contemporary Nuu-chah-nulth practices of traditional food
revitalization in the context of broader efforts to re-Indigenize
contemporary diets on the Northwest Coast. Cote offers evocative
stories of her Tseshaht community's and her own work to revitalize
relationships to ha um (traditional food) as a way to nurture
health and wellness. As Indigenous peoples continue to face food
insecurity due to ongoing inequality, environmental degradation,
and the Westernization of traditional diets, Cote foregrounds
healing and cultural sustenance via everyday enactments of food
sovereignty: berry picking, salmon fishing, and building a
community garden on reclaimed residential school grounds. This book
is for everyone concerned about the major role food plays in
physical, emotional, and spiritual wellness.
