Launching Anung at the Center of the Ojibwa Universe

Thank you all.

Thank you Shirley, the Director of the Museum of Ojibwa Culture, for inviting me to tell my stories during History Week, and thank you for being such a gracious hostess, and thank you for your enthusiasm for Anung’s Journey. And thank you for introducing me to so many wonderful people.

Thank you Tony Grodin, an elder in the Ojibwa community, for teaching me how to make a drum, and thank you for the wonderful story about how the Dakota who first envisioned the drum, Tailfeather Woman, shared it with the Ojibwa people.

Thank you Joanne Carey, an elder in the Odawa community, for the wonderful vest you gave me, and thank you for your presence as we made our drums together.

Thank you Matt Wyers, a young man of the Ojibwa community, and thank you Francie Wyers, Matt’s mother, for telling us about your dancing, and for showing us your regalia.

Thank you Robin Kissinger, from the Dakota community, for your hospitality and for taking pictures.

Thank you Keith Knecht and your family, Brant, Ann, and Margret, for your demonstration of building birch bark vessels, making maple candy, and the delicious roast duck.

Thanks to you and so many others who had a hand in the launching of Anung’s Journey at the Center of the Ojibwa universe.
