Join us on Wednesday, Nov. 6, at Brody Square from 4:30-9 p.m. for the Native Feast Dinner.
November is the designated month to honor and bring awareness to present-day happenings and learning about the history of Native Americans. MSU Culinary Services is celebrating with a Native Feast featuring rich and diverse foods traditional to Native American and Indigenous peoples. These foods have been carefully selected with input from the community, and some are native to the region. We invite you to learn about Native American culture, including manoomin (the wild rice history), helping to make it the official grain in Michigan, and what the three sisters represent by visiting aiis.msu.edu.
PROVISIONAL LAND ACKNOWLEDGEMENT
We collectively acknowledge that Michigan State University occupies the ancestral, traditional, and contemporary Lands of the Anishinaabeg – Three Fires Confederacy of Ojibwe, Odawa, and Potawatomi peoples. In particular, the University resides on Land ceded in the 1819 Treaty of Saginaw. We recognize, support, and advocate for the sovereignty of Michigan’s twelve federally recognized Indian nations, for historic Indigenous communities in Michigan, for Indigenous individuals and communities who live here now, and for those who were forcibly removed from their Homelands. By offering this Land Acknowledgement, we affirm Indigenous sovereignty and will work to hold Michigan State University more accountable to the needs of American Indian and Indigenous peoples.
