What an awesome class! I had a great time presenting with all the wonderful comments, questions, and insights that were brought in by everyone along the way. Much more to say on this, but have to run for now. Will update later!!
Miigwech/thanks so much!!
THE SEVENTH FIRE PROJECT is an environmental presentation program based in Indigenous teachings for all ages and organizations. Using works from today's Indigenous activists and artists, pressing environmental issues are discussed. The program is rooted in Anishinaabe teachings about the Seven Fires when both traditional Anishinaabe ways will be renewed and society as a whole will face a choice between two paths: the Green Path (Earth-respecting) and the Burnt Path (Industrialism).

On the Beautiful Manistique
It was beautiful to be in Manistique last week. With the first taste of such early spring weather coinciding with our visit there, it was great to be able to get out and walk the shoreline of michi-gami (Lake Michigan).
Chi-miigwech/a big thanks to Ms. Mulligan and her art students! What an inspiring place to be! The wonderful art displayed around the room combined with the great discussions in second hour and the intelligent comments in all classes. I truly enjoyed it. And I loved to see how much Ms. Mulligan and many of her students care about these issues.
Manistique is another special place for my family. The lakeshore. The nearness to the Garden Peninsula. We've traveled through here ever since I can remember in our crossings of the U.P. to visit family. And we're always keeping an eye on the land. Can anyone tell me why such huge powerlines have gone in in the area? Who/what are they for?
At any rate, I had a great time!!! Be sure to stay in touch.
