Decolonizing Diet Project: the Female Perspective

Since March 25, 2012, Martin Reinhardt, PhD., an assistant professor in Native American Studies, has led an academic research project entitled the Decolonizing Diet Project.  The project involves not eating foods that were not available in the Great Lakes Region prior to colonization. About 25 people have undertaken eating this diet. April Lindala, director of the NMU Center for Native American Studies, will present her ethnographic study related to the project and her participation in the initiative.
