Dr. Robert Powless Cultural Center,
212 W. 2nd Street, Duluth, MN
From Linda LeGarde Grover: The Anishinaabe tradition of teaching and learning through stories is a thread that in spite of the intentions of the boarding school era never broke. The stories of our ancestors, the boarding school children, are a part of that thread: They have meaning and purpose, even those that might seem small and inconsequential, like an old uncle’s recounting to a young relative how he learned to sew at boarding school, and why. And in passing that story on he shared a lesson in how to live a good life, in that indirect way of the old Anishinaageg. Our learning, as those beloved and honored Elders would say, is meant to be.
