A heartfelt thank you to Ochapowace First Nation for this incredibly meaningful gift. We are truly honoured to receive this bison head and even more grateful for the words and support shared with us. ❤️

We are incredibly proud of everything Ochapowace has accomplished with their community garden project, and it means so much to hear that the NCIAF has been able to play a small part in that journey.

We look forward to seeing all that Ochapowace will continue to accomplish in the seasons ahead. We are honoured to walk alongside you, and alongside Indigenous communities and entrepreneurs across the country, as we continue growing Indigenous agriculture, strengthening communities, and amplifying Indigenous voices.

Thank you again, Ochapowace, for this beautiful gift and for allowing us to be part of your journey. We are grateful for the trust, the partnership, and everything still to come. ❤️🦬

There’s something powerful about seeing traditional foods carried forward in new ways.

Mitsoh is drawing inspiration from foods like dry meat and pemmican, bringing ancestral knowledge and modern food innovation together through its grass-fed beef meat sticks.

It’s a reminder that Indigenous food traditions have always been here — and they continue to grow, evolve and find their place in our communities today.

We’re excited to see where this journey takes Mitsoh and to celebrate the people helping bring Indigenous foods forward.
