AICHO hosts “Apaakozige: Making Traditional Tobacco” w/ Arne Vainio, MD
Feb. 5 | 5:30 pm – 8:00 pm
AICHO’s Dr. Robert Powless Cultural Center
212 W. 2nd Street, Duluth, MN
Free and open to the community.
Arne Vainio, MD, a Mille Lacs Band of Ojibwe tribal member and family practice physician, will provide a cultural teaching on making apaakozigan (traditional tobacco made from the inner bark of red willow). Harvesting, processing, and cultural / spiritual significance of traditional tobacco will be shared. Attendees will have an opportunity to make their own during the session. Using traditional tobacco and being mindful of its use are steps on the path to wellness.
We will share a community meal together at 5:30 PM. Presentation and demonstration will begin at 6 pm.
Please register by 5 pm on January 31. Registering will help us know how much supplies to get. Link: https://forms.gle/BnSXBYW81AedatYi7

People will be using paring knives during this session so we would like to limit the hands-on part of the session to ages 12 and up. Youth under 12 can be in attendance with their families.
Event funded by AICHO’s Waaseyaa Traditional Healing Grant via the Minnesota Department of Human Services Behavioral Health Division.
