This summer at the Fond du Lac Reservation Museum &
Cultural Center a workshop on building a full size Birch Bark Canoe was
held. Marvin Defoe a master birch bark craftsman was contracted to teach a
group of community members how to build a full size Anishinabe Wigwas Giiman.
The canoe pictured here is the product of two weeks work. The helpers were
Museum staff member Jeff Savage, and community members Norman Sutton Jr.,
Phillip Savage, Bob Danielson, Jerry Ojbway and Daniel Barney. Click the
above picture for a larger version.
Many portions of this site were
created in a collaborative effort between students from Little Black Bear Ojibwe School
(Cloquet, Minnesota), Nah Tah Wahsh Potawatomi School (Hannahville,
Michigan) and the Fond du Lac Culture Center.
Students from the Nah Tah Wahsh
School traveled to Fond du Lac to work with their Little Black Bear
peers and begin the Fond du Lac virtual tour by creating QTVR movies of
artifacts and art work from the Fond du Lac Indian Community during the
first week of April, 2001.
This project is the 2001
addition to the Great Lakes Area Native American Virtual Museum. Attention:
The QTVR movies require you to have the Apple Quicktime Player™
installed. Click
here to get the player.
