“I love food” Nakkiah Lui says, and in the next breath whispers “so give us back our land”. In First Eat, a confrontational, raw and highly personal exploration of food politics, power and body sovereignty, Nakkiah Lui asks how our meals would look different if First Nations people owned the land from which the food came. First Eat is about more than just food, it’s an aural feast for a rich future.

Hosted and Co-Produced by Nakkiah Lui.

I loved the breadth of themes and people Nakkiah interviewed and built the weaving story showing how food and eating right in Australia considers as a Indigenous person but also to anyone who lives and feeds from this country. I hope Luxe will listen and learn well from her mother's work.

The nuanced story: food and Indigenous identity
