The Native American community engagement class at NMU will host the first event in its Digital Resilience Webinar Series from 2-3 p.m. Thursday, April 16. Special guest Danny J. Garceau will present "The Native American flute and other stories from the woods."
Garceau is Anishinabe, with his ancestors coming from several tribes of the Lake Superior Chippewa. In 2007, after 30 years of active duty with the U.S. Army and Army National Guard, he retired with the rank of Sergeant Major. He currently serves as a director of the Society of American Indian Government Employees (SAIGE) Board and as the director of the SAIGE Warrior Society.
Garceau is a member of the Wiikwedong Ogitchidaa Society for the Keweenaw Bay Indian Community and is a singer/storyteller with area singers, Morning Thunder and Teal Lake Drum. He has a passion for playing the Native flute and is also a member of the organic indigenous rock group, Waawiyeyaa.
"Our goal with this webinar is to connect those of you feeling isolated in your homes with respected and talented community members from Indian Country," said April Lindala of the NMU Center for Native American Studies.
