Join us on Thursday, Sept. 24 at 3 p.m. for a live webinar that explores many contributions Michigan’s Anishinaabe people have made to our state, past and present.
The event is free, but pre-registration is required. Register now for the program.
The program's speakers are:
- Shannon Martin, Director of the Ziibiwing Center of Anishinabe Culture & Lifeways.
- Colleen Medicine, Director of Language & Culture with the Sault Ste. Marie Tribe of Chippewa Indians.
- Eric Hemenway, Director of the Department of Repatriation, Archives and Records with the Little Traverse Bay Bands of Odawa Indians.
The panelists will discuss several contributions, including:
- cultural preservation,
- food sovereignty,
- historical interpretation,
- environmental stewardship,
- and language revitalization.
They will then participate in a question and answer session.
The speakers have compiled a list of documentaries and short videos that they encourage all attendees to watch before the live event. A list of videos with description and links will be emailed to all registered participants. We will also post video links between now and the event on the Center’s Facebook Page.
This program, which is being held in place of the inaugural Michigan Anishinaabe Heritage Day event, is made possible in part by a grant from Michigan Humanities. Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the inaugural day-long event has been postponed to September 25, 2021 at the Michigan History Museum in Lansing.
