Recipes with Indigenous Foods

Michigan is situated in the ancestral and present homelands of the Anishinaabeg, also called the Three Fires Confederacy of Ojibwe, Odawa and Potawatomi peoples. The state’s 12 federally recognized tribes are sovereign nations. Each has its own history, customs, governance system and food traditions.

Michigan State University Extension is committed to making its programs more inclusive and representative of Michigan’s Indigenous communities. Recently, MSU Extension educators worked with tribal health staff to adapt and implement Share Our Strength Cooking Matters® programs.
