Oneida Cookbook: Traditional Healthy Foods for Our Community

The project was designed to address the nutritional health issues on the Oneida Reservation by increasing consumption of local fruits and vegetables by the Oneida community members while also increasing the number of meals prepared at home. The OCIFS members worked closely with Oneida Community Elders and local nutritionists to demonstrate to the community at various workshops how to cook with traditional, local foods in the cultural tradition. We then provided a traditional social time afterward where the participants could share in the food that was created for these workshops.
