This exploratory study offers insights to the complex relationships between accessing local fisheries and food security in the traditional territory of the Saugeen Ojibway Nation (SON), Lake Huron, Canada. Based in qualitative research, including focus groups and key informant interviews conducted in the SON community in summer 2016, we identify the inter-related structural and relational mechanisms influencing the ability of SON community members to derive food security benefits, including culturally appropriate and nutritious diets and sustainable livelihoods, from local fisheries. There is, however, a need for ongoing efforts to better link the fisheries management, economic and cultural development, and traditional food access objectives of the community, ideally through better connecting and managing existing social networks.
