Battle Creek is most noted for the thriving history and legacy of the Kellogg cereal industry. The prosperity of this city reliant on the production of commodified food. Subsequently, the fall of the Kellogg industry in Battle Creek left the city depressed both economically and without natural resources, as much of the natural agriculture had been replaced by yellow corn fields to support the production of cereal. This mural pays homage to the indigenous first foods of the region that have sustained people for centuries: depicted is the celebration of breastfeeding, wild rice, yellow perch fish, arikara squash, acorns, cranberry pole bean, and indigenous corn.
