Naajimiijimedaa! Let’s Find Food!

The woods of Northern Michigan, the homeland of the Burt Lake Band of Ottawa & Chippewa Indians, has provided gifts from the land in the form of food for generations upon generations. This foraging book is an introduction to finding forty different foods such as berries, leeks, mushrooms and wild rice, to name just a few. The author explains how to harvest, process, prepare and store them. She also includes recipes using these foods and individual tribal citizens’ personal memories and current stories about harvesting them. In addition, the Ojibwe language is provided for each food and includes a link to an online pronunciation guide created by language instructor, Margaret Noodin.
