Indigenous populations in Canada and the United States (US) have maintained reciprocal relationships with nature, grounded in respect for and stewardship of the environment; however, disconnection from traditional food systems has generated a plethora of physical and mental health challenges for communities. Indigenous food sovereignty including control of lands were found to be factors contributing to these concerns. Therefore, our aim was to conduct a scoping review of the peer-reviewed literature to describe Indigenous disconnection from Indigenous food systems (IFS) in Canada and the US.
Following the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses for Scoping Reviews (PRISMA-SR) and Joanna Briggs Institute guidelines, we searched MEDLINE, SCOPUS, International Bibliography of the Social Sciences, Sociological Abstracts, and Bibliography of Native North Americans. Data was extracted from 41 studies and a narrative review completed based on study themes.
The overarching theme identified in the included studies was the impact of colonization on IFS. Four sub-themes emerged as causes for Indigenous disconnection from traditional food systems, including: climate change; capitalism; legal change; and socio-cultural change. These sub-themes highlight the multiple ways in which colonization has impacted Indigenous food systems in Canada and the US and important areas for transformation.
Efforts to reconnect Indigenous knowledge and values systems with future food systems are essential for planetary health and sustainable development. Traditional knowledge sharing must foreground authentic Indigenous inclusion within policymaking.
加拿大和美国的原住民与自然保持着互惠关系，这种关系建立在对环境的尊重和管理之上；然而，与传统食物系统的脱节给社区带来了大量的身心健康挑战。原住民食物主权，包括对土地的控制，被认为是导致这些问题的因素之一。因此，我们的目的是对加拿大和美国的同行评议文献进行范围综述，描述原住民与原住民食物系统（IFS）的脱节。
根据系统评价和荟萃分析的首选报告项目（PRISMA-SR）和乔安娜布里格斯研究所的指南，我们搜索了 MEDLINE、SCOPUS、国际社会科学书目、社会学摘要和北美原住民书目。从 41 项研究中提取数据，并根据研究主题完成叙述性综述。
纳入研究中的总体主题是殖民化对 IFS 的影响。出现了四个副标题，作为原住民与传统食物系统脱节的原因，包括：气候变化；资本主义；法律变更；以及社会文化变革。这些副标题突出了殖民化在加拿大和美国影响原住民食物系统的多种方式，以及需要转型的重要领域。
努力将原住民知识和价值观体系与未来的食物系统重新联系起来，对于地球健康和可持续发展至关重要。传统知识的共享必须以原住民在决策制定中的真实包容为重点。
