Many significant changes, including climate change, are impacting this way of life and challenging secure access to foods vital for sustenance and cultural preservation. We use a case study approach to develop a holistic and place-based definition of traditional harvest practices of Indigenous commu­nities in rural Interior Alaska that expands upon commonly accepted definitions of food security. This definition emphasizes the role of ecological health, culture, and decision-making power in strengthening food security and sovereignty. We also highlight how multistakeholer partnerships foster capacity building that can support commu­nities in their efforts to advocate for food security and sovereignty.</p> <p>See the <a title="press release archive " href="http://www.icontact-archive.com/archive?c=488966&f=60033&s=84565&m=987491&t=257c360ddc23fcec50d37942ed548ee4169a6c0d76d51e227fa886af9ecdf0c7" target="_blank" rel="noopener">press release</a> for this article. </p>}, number={B}, journal={Journal of Agriculture, Food Systems, and Community Development}, author={Heeringa, Krista and Huntington, Orville and Woods, Brooke and Chapin, F.
