Project Overview

A show about uncovering important and unknown aspects of the area's history especially relating to Native American history. Host Elaine Fleming of the Leech Lake Nation, also known by her spirit name, One Thunderbird Woman with the Loon Clan, shares stories and memories of Leech Lake history. Through recollections of times and people, the show's host explores memories and stories that are seldom told, and for sure, not found in any text books. Drawing on expertise from elders and other oral histories, History of Leech Lake provides a rich historical perspective to American Indian life and how it relates today. The ten-minute 52 weekly shows explore a range of topics including: early history, land stewardship, women's roles and cultural practices.
