AICHO will host its annual Aadizookeng Winter Storytelling event with traditional Ojibwe creation stories told by Niigaanibinesiikwe Hannah Orie on January 24, 2025 at 6:00 p.m. at the Dr. Robert Powless Cultural Center, 212 W 2nd St, Duluth, MN. Stories will be told in Ojibwe and translated into English.
Niigaanibinesiikwe is a young second language learner of Ojibwemowin and a Lac Courte Oreilles Ojibwe tribal member. She currently serves as a faculty assistant for the Native American Studies/Ojibwemowin program at Lac Courte Oreilles Ojibwe University and is a former elementary teacher at Waadookodaading Ojibwe Language Institute. "Aadizookeng/Winter Storytelling is an important season for Anishinaabe people when aadizookaanag are told,” Niigaanibinesiikwe said. “Aadizookaanag are legends that are told in the wintertime and are traditionally told in the language. They provide many teachings and understandings of the world around us." The event is free and open to the public. While this is a public event, AICHO and the storytellers have requested attendees to refrain from recording the event due to the spirituality of the gathering. The event is sponsored by AICHO's Waaseyaa Traditional Healing Grant through the Minnesota Department of Human Services Behavioral Health Division. Comments are closed.
