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.

Pot Luck This Thursday

Don't forget about the DDP pot luck this thursday. Just like last time, if you could post what you are bringing to share on the DDP facebook site that would be great. It will be at our usual location for Thusday night meetings from 6-8pm in the fellowship hall (basement) of the Grace United Methodist Church. Don't forget to bring your own place settings.

YMCA Guest Passes

I have 15 guest day passes that were donated by the YMCA in case any of the DDP research subjects are interested in trying out their facility. I also have a few applications for YMCA scholarships that would provide a discounted rate for membership if you are deemed eligible. Stop by the Center for Native American Studies if you would like either one.
