Ojibwe is a lyrical language that is being revitalized by the Native American community through creative ways. Ojibwe musician and comedian Michael Lyons uses puppets to teach the language, history and culture of the Ojibwe people.
Through a partnership of Great River Arts, the Morrison County Historical Society and Great River Children’s Museum, Lyons will be presenting BOOZHOO NANABOOZHOO, his Ojibwe puppet program.
The performance will take place at 7 p.m. Jan. 27 at Great River Arts in downtown Little Falls in Morrison County.
Prior to the performance, at 6:30 p.m., the Great River Children’s Museum will host a puppet-making activity. All supplies will be provided.
There will also be a brief presentation by artist Adrienne Benjamin, who designed new wayfinding signs for area parks that feature Native American history and language. The signs were funded in part by Visit Little Falls and the Region Five Development Commission.
This all-ages program is free and open to the public. Masks are strongly encouraged at this in-person event.
For more information, contact Great River Arts at 320-632-0960 or the Morrison County Historical Society at 320-632-4007.
