My husband and I cut our own wood one winter, but in retrospect it seems like that’s all we did.

Why we honor the living legacy of “Leelanau” Native Americans
NewsThis year in the Glen Arbor Sun we’re publishing a series on the living legacy of the Native Americans. A desire to push back against the rise of xenophobia in contemporary America is not the only reason we chose to examine the living legacy of the local Odawa and Ojibwe among us.
