ABSTRACT
Editors’ Note: This chapter centers on the thematic tabs of colonial, nature, and structure. One of Fazzino and Loring’s overall contributions is to encourage more sensitivity and more specificity (and less uniformity) in how nutrition is defined and practiced together with indigenous communities. In the chapter, Fazzino and Loring examine the relationship of Alaskan and federal politics and policies in restricting access to Alaska Natives’ traditional foods, focusing on the impacts of fisheries management under the Yukon River Salmon Agreement. Fazzino and Loring’s work might be understood as work towards nutrition justice as their arguments line up with those of the food justice movement, recognizing the need to the need to examine patterns of social and economic inequity, and the policies that create or reinforce this inequity, in order to understand how nutrition could be done differently.
