The City of Victoria is inviting the public to a free documentary screening that explores Indigenous food sovereignty, resilience and the revival of agricultural knowledge.
Presented by Victoria Urban Food Table, the Mustard Seed, City Victoria and Story Money Impact, the screening will take place at Victoria City Hall in the Council Antechamber from 5 p.m. to 8 p.m., on Wednesday, April 1st, with food and refreshments provided by the Mustard Seed.
Tea Creek follows Indigenous food sovereignty activist Jacob Beaton, who spent three years transforming his family farm into Tea Creek—a training centre that aims to rediscover Indigenous agriculture practices and expertise.
For Beaton, going back to Indigenous food autonomy offers resilience in the face of an uncertain future shaped by the climate crisis, while also moving towards healing the harms of colonization.
Throughout the documentary, Beaton works to reintegrate traditional agricultural knowledge into this modern world while navigating the ongoing impacts of colonization.
It’s an educational and inspiring story of a passionate leader and his vision for a future that creates space for healing, learning and abundance.
After the screening, a moderated Q&A with local panelists will explore topics including regenerative practices and Indigenous food and architecture, giving attendees the chance to engage with the ideas presented in the film.
Pre-registration is required, so be sure to reserve your spot for free and join this inspiring evening that highlights resilience, Indigenous knowledge and the future of sustainable food systems.
