First Nations Kitchen• Sunday evening feeding program

launched on All Saints’ Sunday, November 2, 2008. 

• Our goal is to serve healthy, organic traditional indigenous food in a welcoming, family environment every Sunday from 5:30 – 6:30 pm. 

• The fare is based on the ancestral diet of First Nations people. 

First Nations, Continued• Our target clientele is the Indigenous

community in the Twin Cities, residents of near-by Little Earth of the United Tribes housing community and people from the neighborhood. 

• All are welcome, and part of the wonder of this offering is the opportunity for people with different economic and cultural backgrounds to break bread together.
