What does it mean when food isn't just fuel — it's governance, identity, and survival? In this episode, Rachel sits down with Chief Andrew George — Hereditary Wing Chief of the Wet'suwet'en Bear Clan, BC's first Indigenous Red Seal certified chef, Apprentice Advisor at SkilledTradesBC, and Director at Dan's Legacy Foundation — for a conversation that will change the way you see food, culture, and reconciliation in Canada. Chief Andrew takes us from growing up off-reserve in the Bulkley Valley, following the salmon cycles, and cooking over an open fire in the mountains — all the way to representing Indigenous cuisine at the 1992 World Culinary Olympics, Expo 86, the 2010 Winter Olympics, and now the FIFA World Cup. His mother's salmon bannock, first created at Expo 86, is making a comeback on the world stage. But this episode goes far deeper than food. Chief Andrew unpacks how Indigenous food systems weren't simply lost — they were deliberately destroyed. Fishing rocks blown up in the Hagelget Canyon. Buffalo wiped out on the prairies. Cod stocks stripped from the East Coast. Caribou driven away by industrial logging. He connects this history directly to why Indigenous households in BC today experience food insecurity at 2 to 6 times the rate of non-Indigenous households. And then he tells us what's being done about it. From Dan's Legacy Foundation's trauma-informed counselling and culinary training program in New Westminster, to Tea Creek's food sovereignty and trades exploration model in Northern BC — Chief Andrew shows us what real reconciliation looks like: not in a corporate boardroom, but sitting around a fire with a cup of tea. This episode is essential listening for anyone who cares about food justice, Indigenous rights, and the future of our communities.
