Niiwin Indigenous Foods Market

Coming soon - a market dedicated to the community and to promoting Indigenous foods.
Click here to view updates regarding Niiwin Market's development

What are Indigenous foods?

We spoke with local Culinary Indigebotanist Tashia Hart (Red Lake Nation) who gives us this explanation:
“When we talk about Indigenous Foods we’re ultimately talking about relationship. We’re talking about the foods that have historically nurtured and shaped our bodies, our cultures, and our traditions as Indigenous Peoples of this land base we know as Turtle Island from our (Anishinaabeg) creation stories. Other tribes have different names for this land base. In turn, the history of each of our Indigenous Foods is also tied to this land, and to us. Our histories are a shared one. This is what makes people, plants, and animals Indigenous to a place—a historical ‘upbringing’ if you will, in a shared space on our our Maamaa Aki, Mother Earth."

We all Enjoy Indigenous Foods!

Some healthy Indigenous foods include what a lot of us eat on any given day like wild rice, maple syrup, corn, beans, squash, venison, walleye, berries, Labrador tea, tomatoes, potatoes, and more. ​

About:

Formerly the 4th Street Market in Duluth. The American Indian Community Housing Organization (AICHO) has recently purchased the building to transform the building into an Indigenous and Healthy Foods Market, deli and coffee shop! On November 3, 2019, AICHO hosted an Open House Celebration to where almost 300 people attended. We received feedback from attendees on what they want to see done with the market and we will move forward in this economic development process together.

​If your organization/business is interested in contributing to this project, please contact AICHO at 218-722-7225 or donate online at givemn.org/niiwinmarket.

Stay tuned for Market updates at our facebook page: Niiwin Indigenous Foods Market.
