The Northern Michigan University Center for Native American Studies is pleased to introduce the Decolonizing Diet Project (DDP) (approved by IRB: project # HS11-415). This is an exploratory study of the relationship between people and indigenous foods of the Great Lakes Region.

The research team will work with 25 voluntary research subjects to prepare them for a year-long commitment to an indigenous diet of food items from the Great Lakes Region. They will facilitate educational opportunities for the research subjects to learn about accessing indigenous foods through the local economy, foraging, hunting, fishing, and gardening.
