Marquette – The “Minopagwad (It tastes good): Decolonizing Diet Project Cookbook Signing and Reception” will be held on Tuesday, March 8 from 4 t0 6 p.m. at the Olson Library on the campus of Northern Michigan University.
The event is being held in conjunction with the national touring exhibition, Native Voices: Native Peoples’ Concepts of Health and Illness. It begins with a panel presentation from 4 to 5 p.m., followed by a cookbook signing reception featuring Great Lakes indigenous foods from 5 to 6 p.m. There is no admission charge.
The cookbook stems from the Decolonizing Diet Project led by NMU professor Martin Reinhardt in 2012-13. Volunteer subjects committed one year to a diet consisting of foods indigenous to the Great Lakes region, in an effort to closely replicate how Native Americans would have eaten prior to colonization. The panel discussion will feature Reinhardt, Leora Lancaster and April Lindala, all from NMU’s Center for Native American Studies.
RSVPs for the signing reception are requested at ahubinge@nmu.edu.
