Elder and Community Input Day at Mawawceseniyah

On July 31st, the High School Sustainability Cohort (SLC) hosted an Elder and Community input day at Mawawceseniyah.  About thirty-five people attended to hear what the SLC has been working on and give the students feedback and input.  Each of the three groups presented their projects—speaking to the action-research project process they had been implemented over the past several weeks.Ron Corn Jr., Menominee language and culture student and teacher, led the high school student and community members in constructing the frame of a wigwam on the shore of LaMotte Lake. Ben Grignon, CMN and Menominee Indian High School art instructor, shared techniques he learned in New Mexico to add decorations a wood fire clay oven.  For the entire story, see the Sustainable Development Institute website. 







Many thanks to our generous hosts at Mawawceseniyah and the people who contributed their perspectives and feedback.
