New Indian Bowl to share and sustain Ojibwe artistry and culture
MHP is working with stakeholders in Wisconsin on the vision and implementation of a new Indian Bowl that will include classrooms, exhibit space, a new performance arena and more. "The Indian Bowl has been the highlight of Lac du Flambeau for decades," Georgine Brown, President of the Waaswaaganing Indian Bowl, explains. "Throughout the years, many families here have been a part of the Indian Bowl shows, making it a renown tourist attraction in the northwoods of Wisconsin. We shared our culture and heritage for all to learn what we as Anishinaabeg were all about. Today, many of these families still enjoy performing the storytelling dances taught to us by our grandfathers and grandmothers. The rebuilding of the Indian Bowl will once again revitalize the community economically as tourist and visitors come to learn and share all our cultural differences." Read the full story.
