    05: It's What They Did the Day Before

    Before colonization, the relationships people had to land were completely different. When European colonizers arrived, they completely overhauled the way that people were allowed to think about the land. We’re going to dig deeper into this culture clash and see how it played out today. Like, who owns the land? Who should own the land? And what does land ownership mean to Ojibwe and non-Ojibwe?

    04: Not Just Pretty Water and Pretty Trees

    Campers at UniStar love Star Island--it's tattooed on people's bodies and burned into their memories. To them, it's a home away from home. But for Ojibwe, this place is also home and has been for over one thousand years. We dive in to the kinds of connections people have to this little part of northern Minnesota, and why this area is so special to both Ojibwe and non-Ojibwe.
