    Abstract
    This thesis is a combined volume containing three individual research papers, each written for submission to a different peer-reviewed journal. Each to some extent investigates community resiliency and vulnerability as they manifest in the past and present of Alaska Native foodways. The first paper, 'Outpost Gardening in Interior Alaska' examines the historical dimensions of cropping by Athabascan peoples as a part of local food system development and innovation; the second introduces the 'Services-oriented Architecture' as a framework for describing ecosystem services, with the rural Alaskan model as an example; the third, from which the title of this thesis was taken, presents the process and outcomes of contemporary food system change for the Athabascan village of Minto, AK, as they 'come out of their foodshed'. The three of these papers together introduce a language and a set of frameworks for considering local food systems within a context of development and global change that are applicable throughout Alaska and indeed to cases world-wide.
