Join Us and Cat Free from Trent University to learn more about Indigenous Chefs and their role in food sovereignty, and for a broader conversation on Indigenous knowledges around food. Cat Free's graduate research is looking at Indigenous Chefs across Ontario who have stepped beyond their trade certification and training, and have moved into food sovereignty for the knowledge and benefit of Indigenous communities, Indigenous individuals, and beyond.

Cat Free is a PhD student in Indigenous Studies at Trent University, researching Indigenous Food Systems. She is a former Red Seal Chef and practiced for 22 years before pursuing her Bachelor's of Social Work and Master's of Social Work. Cat is a member of the Pays Plat First Nation, and lives and studies in Treaty 20, traditional territory of the Michi Saagiig and Chippewa Nations. Cat Free's graduate research is looking at Indigenous Chefs across Ontario who have stepped beyond their trade certification and training, and have moved into food sovereignty for the knowledge and benefit of Indigenous communities, Indigenous individuals, and beyond.

Funding for this project has been provided by Agriculture and Agri-Food Canada through the Agricultural Climate Solutions – Living Labs program.
