In ‘Food of Life’, we continue our journey with host Tchadas Leo traveling in the steps of the ancestors. Indigenous cultures influence almost every facet of life on the island today, and that definitely includes the local cuisine. In this episode, we speak to people who are making their mark through Indigenous-inspired food. In Port Alberni, we meet Lance Dodds of the Qualicum First Nation; Chef at Barebones Fish and Chips, and in Tofino, we speak with Stevie Dennis, of the Ashouhat First Nation who harvests the seas for both Domestic and International markets.

About this series
Indigenous Voices of Vancouver Island is a five-episode presentation of 4VI (formerly known as Tourism Vancouver Island), a social enterprise in business to ensure travel is a force for good for Vancouver Island - forever. From its breathtaking vistas to the inspiring talents of its people, Vancouver Island is the definition of a “must-see” destination. In this series, Indigenous Voices of Vancouver Island, 4VI showcases the talents of Indigenous entrepreneurs and their stories of how they have found a way to honour and preserve their traditions while succeeding in a very competitive marketplace. Host Tchadas Leo is of the Homalco First Nation, and writer Trevor Jang is of Witset First Nation. The Cover Art is the work of Ivy Cargill Martin from Tla-o-qui-aht First Nation.
Canada's True West Coast
Vancouver Island, located on Canada’s West Coast, is known for its mild climate, abundance, and relaxed way of life. This region is defined by its ancient rainforests, rugged coastlines, and cool waters of the Pacific Ocean, creating an abundance of outdoor recreation opportunities and peaceful getaways.
Vancouver Island spans 460 kilometers long, from the provincial capital of Victoria to the far-reaching beaches of Cape Scott Provincial Park. Several small islands, the Gulf Islands and Discovery Islands are found between the Salish Sea and Discovery Passage, respectively.
4VI gratefully acknowledges that we live, work, and play on the traditional, ancestral, and unceded territories of the Kwakwaka’wakw, Nuu-chah-nulth, and Coast Salish peoples.
