Indigenous Sustenance Reclamation Network

The Indigenous Sustenance Reclamation Network (ISRN) is an Indigenous-led grassroots group dedicated to Indigenous sustenance sovereignty north of the medicine line (in what is colonially known as Canada).

In their efforts to achieve sustainable and sovereign Indigenous sustenance realities, they work to increase Indigenous peoples’ skills as sustenance justice leaders and activists, as existing and emerging Knowledge Holders, and as sustenance nurturers and protectors.
