The paper will also address fee simple land, the additions to reserve process, models for economic development, tax advantages, buckshee leases, certificates of possession, and other land management topics. First Nation food sovereignty is First Nation control over First Nation food (Sherman, 2020). Quapaw leadership admits to it having been a significant challenge but recognizes that it is essential to their food sovereignty. Since 2010 the Quapaw have been able to successfully develop their own food system by taking calculated steps. [...]many First Nations farmers left the industry, creating a gap in agricultural knowledge for generations - the second barrier.
