Here at Midewigaan Provisions we will heal and build our  community through food. In the tradition of our ancestors  who traded all across the Great Lakes and beyond we created  Midewigaan Provisions to honor those who have come before us.  We are here to reclaim our ancient trade routes and to continue  to build those relationships that sustained us through the tough  seasonal times. By reconnecting with our traditional practices,  like eating sacred foods, making our tools, and speaking our  languages, we can be mentally, physically, emotionally, and  spiritually strong. Our Indigenous teachings and ways of living  kept our people well for centuries.

“Food is medicine” is not just a tagline or a new concept. It has  been ingrained in us since we’ve always had a relationship with  the world around us. We also have a sacred responsibility to treat  the land with care and respect as it does for us. The food we grow  and harvest means so much more than just “eating to survive.”  The foods we eat heal our bodies and minds. Spiritually, the  foods we choose to eat will ground us while also connecting us  to our ancestors. We are a BIPOC-owned, Tribally incorporated  LLC under the Sovereignty of the Waganakisign Odawak! 

We grow a variety of produce items including carrots and  potatoes & process maple syrup and maple sugar products.
