walllee: "Picked this book up while up North last week. It is a people’s history of Chippewa City and the Grand Marais Anishinabe . Highly recommend this book."I’m interested in this book, when I grew up my mom worked part time at a rec center called the Anishanabe longhouse. It was a great introduction to Native culture at a really young age .

My mother’s college roommate was Joanne hart. We would visit her fairly often back in the day. Her husband, nat hart, was a English professor at u of mn, Morris. He felt that Morris mn was too drug plagued to raise his family. He lived at morris, teaching, and the family lived at the old village where the relocated hwy 61 used to cross the pigeon river near where fort Charlotte used to be. They bought the whole town. I was a kid, this place was like a hippy Charles Manson cult in the wilderness. To get to school in grand Marais they had to paddle across the pigeon river and catch a bus in Canada and then to grand marais. Two hours for half the trip. As a young kid this fascinated me. It was totally weird but so unlike my exurb childhood. The hart family were greatly appreciated by the Ojibwa people, they had some white privilege clout and used that to help the tribe. It’s been several years since I’ve been to grand portage, last I heard she is still up there writing poetry, the old 61 is hardly navigable.
Google maps shows the buildings are gone. Joanne would have been 95.

For Minnesota TV viewers... Staci Lola Drouillard will also be appearing on "Almanac" on Twin Cities PBS on Friday Jan 31st at 7 pm to talk about her book.
I haven't read it yet but it's next in line when I finish my current book. So likely this weekend.

Sounds like a great read! I'll have to pick up a copy and watch Almanac on Friday.
