À propos de cet audio
Debbi Kinaka-Williams (Anishinaabe) moved to Plymouth in the early 1980s and then purchased a home in Crystal, where she lived for 22 years. She chose the area specifically so her children could attend the Robbinsdale School District and enjoy the Robbinsdale American Indian Education Program. Debbi started the Robbinsdale drum and dance group and managed it for 9 years. Debbi is also an artist and a teacher. She helped to secure culturally appropriate curriculum and books for Indigenous students. She also advocated for starting the American Indian Studies Program at Michigan State University.
In Mni Sóta Makoce (Minnesota), Indigenous people have lived, worked, and played near Ȟaȟa Wakpadaŋ (Bassett Creek) for thousands of years. Through an oral history project, 15 Indigenous people share how they experience the watershed as part of their historic and contemporary cultures. These interviews were conducted by Dr. Kasey Keeler with support from Valley Community Presbyterian Church (VCPC) and partners.
