PBS North & Legacy Funding Strengthen Minnesota Storytelling Across the Northland Legacy funding has empowered PBS North to deepen its commitment to authentic regional storytelling across every corner of northern Minnesota. Through programs like The Slice , we capture moments of everyday life that reflect the humor, creativity, and generosity of our neighbors. From a local metalworker forging art in Grand Rapids to a young Ojibwe chef reclaiming traditional foodways, these stories reveal the fabric of our communities. Legacy support not only sustains these productions but fuels collaboration, visibility, and pride throughout the region.
