Description
What insights can we learn about Anishinaabe lawmaking practices and what role does food and ritual play? Hosting is at the crux of Anishinaabe lawmaking practices, and the role of feasting and key foods such as strawberries held great cultural, spiritual and political significance. Examining these aspects of treaty making can offer insight into how food can be used as a tool to build empathy and relations between perceived strangers and nations.
