This perspective piece teases out some of the tensions between the development of a national food policy, which has gained significant traction in Canada over the past few years, and Indigenous food sovereignty, which long predates the Canadian government and its policies and has a rich history and current practice of organizing. Drawing from our observations and discussions at conferences, workshops, and events, and pointing to key aspects of discourse commonly embedded in such discussions, we critically reflect on how settler engagements with Indigenous peoples in developing a national food policy may reify, rather than dismantle, colonial relationships. Additionally, we emphasize the importance of process and the ability for settlers to accept discomfort and incommensurability if we are to move towards spaces that embody solidarity, respect, and resistance.

The article highlights the problem of defining the concept of «indigenous people» in international and domestic (local) law. It is found that the current practice of defining them still retains some difficulties due to the lack of a clear, unified and formally fixed definition of these peoples at universal legal level. Particular attention is given to the study of existing approaches to their definition used at domestic (local) level. A proposal is made that there is a necessity to rethink concept of defining «indigenous people». Authors in the research understand the recognition of these ethnic communities as autonomous subjects of international and domestic (local) law. Based on the data analysis, it was concluded that the current practice of defining indigenous peoples are highly variable greatly depending on the features of each state. At the same time, it still reveals a certain coherence based on historical and cultural assumptions.

AbstractUsing Canada as an example, social work must not only address its historical and current role in the colonisation and assimilation efforts aimed at Indigenous people, but also deconstruct its practices. Social work theory, methodology and practice parameters have been built on Eurocentric definitions and understandings. Indigenous peoples do not identify with these constructs but find themselves assessed and case managed based upon them. This extends colonialism and runs counter to a core principle of the profession, that being social justice. Canada is presently calling social work to participate in a reconciliation effort, although that assumes that there was a mutually beneficial relationship to restore. Some argue against that but there is a strong consensus that social work should carry its share of the burden in colonialism and self-reflect while also reaching out to build a different type of relationship with Indigenous peoples. This article reports on three projects that consider Indigenous knowledge and application to social work. Child protection is seen as a major focal point of change, as Indigenous children are significantly over-represented in the children in care population. Looking at this area of practice will help to illustrate the long roots of the colonial practices but also how current practice remains problematic.
