Native Nutrition

The Great Lakes Intertribal Council (GLITC) has a very cool website from 2014-2015 for their Nutrition/SNAP-Ed program! Posts/pages include a range of topics about great-lakes-area native american food cultures and the nutritional information that goes with them. There’s recipes for native foods, but also great info sheets about major food sources (bison, deer, strawberries, dandelions etc), stories about food, and interviews about food culture from community members. While it’s sad that this page hasn’t been updated in a while, the posts are a great resource for nutrition educators hoping to incorporate native diets into their curriculum!
