Plundering the North: A history of settler colonialism, corporate welfare, and food insecurity.

"Plundering the North: A history of settler colonialism, corporate welfare, and food insecurity" is a scholarly article that explores the relationship between colonialism and food insecurity in Indigenous communities in Canada. The authors, Kristin Burnett and Travis Hay, examine the history of the Hudson's Bay Company (HBC) and its successor, the Northwest Company (NWC), and how they dominated the retail economy in remote Indigenous communities after World War II. The article argues that federal food and nutrition programs have perpetuated colonial and corporate domination over First Nations and Inuit communities. While the article provides important insights into the history of colonialism and food insecurity, it is noted that there is limited engagement with Indigenous resistance to colonialism.
