We're Bringing It Back: Traditional Ojibwe Ways with Wayne Valliere

When
Where
Mount Horeb Public Library

Artist and educator Wayne Valliere (Mino-giizhig) describes the ways in which Ojibwe are recovering ancient arts and traditions on the Lac du Flambeau reservation in northern Wisconsin. Traditions that were suppressed or abandoned—including the making of birch bark canoes—are becoming re-established on the reservation, and with them, a greater sense of cultural identity and resilience.
