Indigenous practices and living heritage


On #IndigenousPeoplesDay, we honour the stories that are passed down through taste, memory and tradition.
From sacred rituals to everyday meals, food holds centuries of Indigenous knowledge. It tells us how to live with the land, respect the seasons, and care for community.

Through UNESCO’s Intangible Cultural Heritage list, these practices are protected and celebrated, for what they teach us about identity, resilience, and respect for nature.
