Mille Lacs Ojibwe Language Books: A collaborative effort between the Mille Lacs Band of Ojibwe and the Minnesota Historical Society/Minnesota Historical Society Press has resulted in the release of five books in the Ojibwe language. It’s all part of the Mille Lacs Band of Ojibwe - Aanjibimaadizing Project where sixteen first speakers teamed with linguists, teachers, and Ojibwe language experts to create the books. Along with the books, the Aanjibimaadizing Project is developing a Rosetta Stone Ojibwe language learning program. Ojibwe Author’s Latest Book: We talk with award-winning author Linda LeGarde Grover of the Bois Forte Band of Chippewa about her latest book “Gichigami Hearts: Stories and Histories from Misaabekong”. Her book discusses the great westward migration that carried the Ojibwe people to Duluth, the Point of Rocks. Her writing craft is an art with a mix of poetry and short stories – some rooted in myth, others in reality. Her latest book shares stories of real and fictional characters with a deep and tenacious bond to the land, one another, and the Ojibwe culture. Round Lake Traditions: Are you familiar with the art of applique? The craft has roots in the Ojibwe culture; fabric patterns are sewn onto a larger piece to form a design. Round Lake Traditions' Herb Fineday Jr of the Fond du Lac Band of Lake Superior Chippewa’s style is of bright colors and Ojibwe floral designs. Herb tells people his creations are not his but are the Creator's. He won’t work on a piece if he's in a negative headspace because he feels what’s put into it lives in it. Healing Song: Native Report invites you to get to know Annie Humphrey Music. She grew up on the Leech Lake Band of Ojibwe reservation in northern Minnesota. Annie shares how she uses her voice to send strong messages to Indian Country and beyond. We caught up with her at a musical performance at Bayfront Festival Park in Duluth.
