Treaty Fishing Co. owners’ Ed and Cindi John of Northport were recently named one of four 2025 Michigan Heritage Awards (MHA) recipients.
The Michigan Traditional Arts Program (MTAP) at Michigan State University announced the recipients of the 2025 MHA this month. Established nearly 40 years ago, the awards recognize individuals who masterfully uphold their family, community, or cultural folk traditions.
“The Michigan Heritage Awards are presented to master tradition bearers who continue family and community traditions through practice and teaching,” said Marsha MacDowell, director of MTAP, in a recent press release. “The annual call for nominations extends throughout the state to ensure award recipients reflect a variety of skills, traditions, and cultures of Michiganders.”
