The Northern Michigan University Center for Native American Studies is now in the midst of the implementation phase of the Decolonizing Diet Project. The DDP research subjects have been adhering to their meal and excercise plans since March 25, 2012. While we have put forth great effort to prepare for this phase, we realize that there may be some things that still need tweaking. The master food list is located on the DDP Group Site. We will continue updating food provider information as we go along, and will announce opportunities to join food consultants on various outings as they become available.

We would like to say chi-miigwech (many thanks) to those who have supported our project thus far including Northern Michigan University, the US Forest Service, the Cedar Tree Institute, the Kewenaw Bay Indian Community, and several businesses (please see the list of supporters at the DDP Group Site). If you or your organization would like to donate to this project (whether in the form of food, equipment, or cash), or if you have any questions about the DDP, please contact Dr. Martin Reinhardt, principal investigator, at (906)-227-1397, or email: mreinhar@nmu.edu

We wish everyone the very best on this exciting adventure.

DDP Gatherings Update

Based on attendance patterns, and feedback I have received via email and phone regarding preferred times for our DDP gatherings, I have decided to schedule only Thursday evening and weekend events from this point forward. Thus, we will not have a gathering on March 23rd as originally scheduled. Instead, we will plan to meet on Thursday, March 29th the following week from 6-8pm at the Grace United Methodist Church Fellowship Hall. We will have another gathering during the same time/same place on April 12th. We will have a special guest, ethnobiologist Dr. Scott Herron, join us that evening. Our last gathering was great! I really enjoyed all of the food and fellowship. Please post the recipes for the dishes you brought at the DDP Group Site Recipes Forum. Don't forget to get your annual physical and have the results sent to my office in a confidential envelop. You can also drop them by if you prefer.
