Madalene Big Bear, a citizen of the Pokagon Band of the Potawatomi Indians nation, is a highly engaged Géknomaget of Indian Country. For over fifteen years, she has dedicated herself to the preservation and advancement of Bodwéwadmi customs and traditions. In particular, Madalene anchors her work to the key objective of creating safe spaces within her nation’s homelands where Native people can thrive as distinct and autonomous shepherds of this land.

Decolonized eating centers around foods that grew in the Great Lakes region before the period of colonization began.
