Manistique community welcome to Sept. 26 gathering
The 12th Annual Manistique Tribal Clinic Health Enrichment Gathering is scheduled for Wednesday, Sept. 26, from 5 to 7 p.m. We welcome all community members to join us at the Manistique Tribal Community Center at 5698W US Hwy 2. This event is a time to share and learn about traditional Ojibwe ways for a healthy life. It is a casual, social event that includes traditional and local food recipes and information for integrating them into your daily life. It also includes a demonstration on being active, Ojibwe style. 
 
A men’s drum group will honor all attendees with song and there is even an option to join in and dance. Youth from the Manistique Youth Education & Activities program will present what they learned about traditional foods this past summer. They will also give a couple of food demonstrations. There will be resources available on the Native Plate, Living with the Seasons and other tribal programs. We are bringing back the feast this year and ask participants bring a dish to pass. Traditional or local foods are preferred but not necessary. And, bring your recipe to share, if you like.
 
All participants are eligible for the giveaway drawing as well. We look forward to as many of you as can come. It has historically been a fantastic experience. Please call 341-8469 to RSVP. We welcome everyone in the

community to join us.
