The Ghost Supper is a Native American ceremony observed in the fall, the traditional time of remembering and honoring deceased loved ones through the offering of food and tobacco (semaa) at a community meal. Food is prepared to feed the ancestor's at the spirit fire and tobacco is offered in their honor.

Join us to honor and remember those loved ones who have passed on by bringing their favorite dish to share. There will be drumming and singings, feeding the sacred fire with tobacco and adding food to the Spirit Plate.

“This custom has been practiced for as long as the Anishinaabe (Odawa, Ojibwe and Potawatomi) have lived in Michigan,” said Gennie Morgan, a Native Elder specializing on Ojibwe traditions, the medicine wheel and drumming.

Bring a dish to share, your table setting and we’ll provide cider and water, the sacred fire, the drumming and songs.

This is an outside event so dress warmly. No alcohol is allowed nor anyone who has consumed alcohol in the past 24 hours.
