This blog provides updates on the Decolonizing Diet Project (DDP) an academic research initiative of the Northern Michigan University Center for Native American Studies (approved by IRB: project #HS11-415).
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.

Cattail Foraging April 26th
Instead of having a pot-luck in on April 26th, we decided to go out foraging for cattail sprouts. We will meet at the gas station at the intersection of 553 and 35 in Gwinn around 5:30pm. Then we will head south on 35 toward Escanba. The area we will be foraging in is just north of McFarland near where the railroad crosses 35. We will be out there until 8pm so if you can't be at the gas station at 5:30pm, and just want to find us later that will work. Plan on wearing gloves, hip-waders or boots, old clothes, and a hat. Bring a knife and a bucket/basket, or even a plastic bag to haul your cattails home in. We will bring band-aids and a first aid kit just in case. We will also bring some DDP snack foods and bottles of water.
