Marquette – The 16th annual First Nations Food Taster will be held on Friday, November 5 from 5 to 7 p.m. in the Jacobetti Complex at Northern Michigan University.
Many of the menu items are inspired by the Decolonizing Diet Project, which celebrates Great Lakes Indigenous foods and ingredients. Menu items include bison stew, three sisters’ casserole, pumpkin corn bread, turkey stir-fry, mint wild rice salad and sunbutter cookies.
Elda Tate will provide live music. The NMU Native American Student Association is hosting the event. The First Nations Food Taster also serves as a fundraiser for the 25th annual “Learning to Walk Together” traditional pow wow in March 2017, and is part of the NMU campus-wide Native American Heritage Month.
