Located on the southeastern shore of Lake Superior within the Bay Mills Indian Community (BMIC), the Bay Mills Community College (BMCC) serves as Michigan’s first fully accredited, Tribally controlled college. BMCC meets the educational needs of a wide variety of students through its remote, rural Main Campus, West Campus, Waishkey Bay Farm site, off-campus sites, and online courses. BMCC intends to strengthen food sovereignty efforts in their community through their new project titled Bay Mills Community College Mii azhigwa ji-azhe-mamooyaang indakiiminaan miinawaa endazhi-mino-ganawendamaang nimiijiminaan (Land Requisition & Infrastructure). This project supports Bay Mills Community College community farm in strengthening food sovereignty through investments in land acquisition, pasture improvement, freezer storage, and year-round workshop access. These enhancements increase agricultural capacity, climate resilience, and sustainable management of traditional lands and food systems.
