Harmony Co-op is working to support Indigenous nations, communities & cultures in
ways beyond signage. We offer local products from Native American-owned and
operated businesses, such as Red Lake Nation Foods & Red Lake Nation Fishery.
Red Lake Nation Foods
is a Native American owned company that is dedicated to producing unique specialty products.
Their products are produced in small batches, using wild fruits & berries, gathered by hand, by members of the Red Lake Band of Chippewa in Minnesota.
“We are always looking, cooking and trying new things with all of our products in an effort to make each dining experience unique with traditional flare.”
Red Lake Nation Fishery
is owned and operated by the Red Lake Band of Ojibwe. They use Their knowledge of the Red Lakes to your advantage. Their fish products are wild caught by tribal fishermen, who use the wisdom from their elders to harvest in a sustainable manner. They understand the benefits of natural foods, and include that value into the preparation of they fillets, each one done by hand.
Harmony co-op recognizes that Bemidji sits within Ojibwe territory. The Ojibwe language Project works alongside greater community endeavors to revitalize and maintain the Ojibwe language for future generations of Ojibwe people as well as raise awareness of language loss and revitalization efforts.

In order to continue supporting the work of Ojibwe language revitalization in our region, Harmony will deepen our own engagement with the language by introducing Ojibwe sentences about the food, land, and water upon which we all depend.
