Forest County Potawatomi Community

This project will increase the Tribe's capacity to conduct value-added activities to food produced at the Bodwéwadmi Ktëgan by leveraging FCPC’s commercial kitchen equipment, thereby strengthening the Tribe's food system, as well as members' access to traditional, healthy, locally-produced food.

The project will increase the economic opportunity and self-sufficiency of the Forest County Potawatomi Community and its members by strengthening the local food system through the creation of a Maple Sugaring Operation. It will also serve as an educational tool for area youth and provide best practices to regional Tribes.
