Then join our virtual Wider Lens: OBOV Film discussion on October 27. 

The Great Lakes and connecting waterways have remained the center of traditional and contemporary economies for centuries. Meet the Ojibwe and a Tribe that was relocated to this region—the Oneida Tribe of Wisconsin who care for these lands. Natural resources are the Tribes’ main economy, including the famous Red Lake walleye and wild rice lakes. GROWING NATIVE host Stacey Thunder (Red Lake and Lac Courte Oreilles Ojibwe) guides this journey by engaging Tribal voices while touring Indian Country with those who devote their lives to caring for the land

Join us to watch and discuss the second film in our One Book, One Village film series. These films have been curated as companion pieces to Braiding Sweetgrass and highlight critical themes presented in the book.
