Anishinaabe History
Oct. 8, 2022
Monday, Oct. 10, is Indigenous Peoples’ Day, and to honor the original inhabitants of northern Michigan, the Leelanau Historical Society is offering a special event focused on Anishinaabe history. JoAnne Cook is the featured speaker. She is a member of the Grand Traverse Band of Ottawa and Chippewa Indians, a former tribal councilor and tribal court judge, and local educator and culture preservationist. Cook will share information about the original way of life of the Anishinaabe, including culture, tradition, spiritual views, and living as a nation, tribe, and community. She’ll also discuss how historical changes in the Great Lakes region affected the Anishinaabe from societal, environmental, and legal perspectives. The event is free and begins at 4pm in the Munnecke Room at the Leelanau Historical Society Museum, 203 E. Cedar. St. in Leland. Learn more at leelanauhistory.org/events.
