Project Overview

Gichi Aya'aag Bizindaw ya will focus on personal histories of our Ojibwe elders. This will include personal historic knowledge of the changes they've experienced in Indian country and beyond. This will include the changes they've seen due to federal policy as well as state policy. The Gichi Aya'aag Bizindaw Ya project will bring the history of local communities to the listening area and beyond through our streaming ability. We will target villages and communities within the boundaries of the White Earth Indian Reservation and beyond to other Ojibwe reservations in Minnesota. These programs will be 10 minutes and will be broadcast and be assessable through our website and PRX.This is weekly program.
