Project Overview

Partner Organizations: Fond du Lac College, Carlton County Historical Society.

More than 130 Ojibwe tribal leaders were interviewed for the award-winning Waasa Inaabida television documentary series, about the second largest tribe in North America, the Anishinaabe/Ojibwe nation of the upper Great Lakes region.

Through this ACHF-funded project, Fond du Lac College, in partnership with the Carlton County Historical Society, will transcribe and catalog the 345 hours of video oral histories, making them available at the two institutions, as well as to a larger audience through online publication.
