The Wild Basket is about bringing Indigenous foods back into mainstream, which has many positive ripple effects! We wanted to create something that could help the community to build a sustainable economy, to protect the rights of our forests, and to strengthen our relationship to the territory. Since time immemorial we survived off the land base by harvesting and eating wild foods, and by trading for goods. Our nomadic way of life that enabled us to live off the land has evolved, so we are adapting to sustain a healthy way of living and maintain a strong relationship to the land! The Wild Basket was born out of necessity to go back to our roots, therefore we are a non-profit business with all proceeds going back to the community of Timiskaming First Nation.
