Through Anishinaabe Eyes:
Traditional Native American Knowledge About the World Around Us

There is a unique opportunity March 23, 2025 to learn some of the traditional world view of Great
Lakes region Ansihinaabe and take away at least three teaching activities.

The program starts at Abrams Planetarium (Michigan State University campus) with the presentation “Living In Balance: Anishinaabe Star Knowledge”.  Then travel 4 miles to the Nokomis Cultural Heritage Center for a traditional foods lunch and orientation to their programs.

Participate in two activities focusing on the use of rock materials and stone tools, with particular attention to what they saw in those materials that made them useful and where they got the materials.  Visit the Center’s displays and gift/book shop before heading home.

You will need to arrive at Abrams between 10 and 10:15 am and the program will conclude at Nokomis by 2 pm.  Lunch, planetarium program, activities, and copies of handouts are all included in registration fee of $15.  The workshop will be limited to 30 people.  Pre-register before March 19.

Direct questions about the program to Dave Chapman, chapmad@comcast.net
