Please note that the American Indian Health Service of Chicago will be closed in observance of the Giving Thanks holiday on Thursday 11/28 and Friday 11/29.

As we gather with loved ones, we must also take a moment to reflect on the true history and significance of this day. For Native American communities, Thanksgiving is a time of mixed emotions—a celebration of resilience and a remembrance of our ancestors' struggles and sacrifices.

Let's honor their memory by giving thanks for the blessings we have, recognizing the strength and wisdom passed down through generations, and committing to a future built on respect, understanding, and unity.

We invite you to join us in celebrating the rich cultural heritage and contributions of Native Americans. Share your stories, support Native-owned businesses, and educate yourself and others about the history and traditions that shape us.

Wishing everyone a meaningful and reflective Giving Thanks holiday.

TOMORROW! FREE COMMUNITY EVENT!

Wild Onion Market Presents "Beyond the Gifts of the Three Sisters" – A Celebration of Community, Culture, and Native American Heritage Month

Chicago, IL – Sunday, November 16, 2025 | 2 p.m.–5 p.m.

Wild Onion Market, in partnership with the Gichigamiin Indigenous Nations Museum, American Indian Health Services, and St. Kateri Center, invites the city to a vibrant fall festival that honors the Indigenous roots of the region and the timeless bounty of the "Three Sisters" — corn, beans, and squash. The event, titled "Beyond the Gifts of the Three Sisters," will transform the Wild Onion Market into a living showcase of food, art, and storytelling on Sunday, November 16, 2025, from 2 p.m. to 5 p.m. at 7007 N Clark St., Chicago, IL.

What to Expect
Culinary Highlights – Indigenous chef Cyndee Fox-Starr will serve a series of seasonal dishes. Guests can taste contemporary takes on American Indian cuisine, all crafted with locally‑sourced, organic ingredients.

Hands‑On Workshops – Join artisans for two sessions of native craftwork. Beadwork and corn-husk dolls will be made as you learn the significance of both traditions.

Community Dialog and Storytelling - Storytellers will share stories of traditions, community and food in the Native American Diaspora.

St. Kateri Center Food Drive - Chef Fox-Starr is partnered with the St. Kateri Center and is collecting food donations for their pantry as a part of this event.

Why This Matters

November marks Native American Heritage Month, a time to recognize the contributions, resilience, and ongoing vitality of Indigenous peoples across the United States. By centering the Three Sisters—a cornerstone of Indigenous agriculture and cosmology—this festival underscores the interdependence of people, land, and nourishment. It also highlights Wild Onion Market's commitment to amplifying under‑represented voices and supporting local, sustainable food systems.

No tickets or RSVPs are required—just bring your curiosity and enthusiasm!
