Our food sovereignty goal has been to perpetuate these practices and engage as many people as we can so that these traditions continue. Each moon and season help to refine the food sovereignty program.
This work involves an intentional partnership between the College of Menominee Nation and its extension division. Other local programs and departments involved with this work include Menominee Food Distribution, Menominee Department of Agriculture and Food Systems, Menikanaehkem, Menominee Tribal Clinic, Woodland Boys and Girls Club, and Early Childcare Services. This publication is not intended as a comprehensive field guide; it is intended as a resource for those interested in beginning or expanding food sovereignty initiatives in Tribal communities. We value everyone’s contribution to building a better Menominee community.
