#12 - The Sacred Power Of What We Eat with Jared Qwustenuxun Williams

In this episode of Culture is Healing, we sit down with Indigenous food sovereignty advocate, chef and storyteller Qwustenuxun.

Rooted in Salish culture and drawing from over a decade of experience cooking for Elders in his home community of Quw’utsun, Qwustenuxun shares powerful reflections on the spiritual, cultural, and communal role of food.

From inherited teachings to the sacred responsibility of preparing food with care, this conversation explores how nourishment goes far beyond the physical—and how ancestral knowledge continues to guide us in kitchens, in ceremony, and in life.
