Canadian Foods: Nations People and Trap Animals

canadian foods: First Nations people shared their food, knowledge about how to grow produce in a new land, how to boil down maple sap for syrup, and the best way to trap animals, according to Hamilton Spectator. Eventually the settler population became so proficient they felt they didn't need help and ultimately fenced off their foods from the First Nations people, Croutch says. While salmon, maple syrup, mussels, oysters, wild rice, venison, corn, beans, squash and various types of berries are thought of as typical Canadian foods, Croutch says they were mainstays of indigenous meals long before English and French settlers set foot on this side of the ocean. Our food systems have been appropriated.... And then they slapped regulations and licences and laws on our food system, Croutch said in an interview at last month's Terroir Symposium in Toronto for members of the hospitality industry. And it can be expensive. So now we have to buy their food. (www.immigrantscanada.com). As reported in the news.
