The Keweenaw Bay Indian Community Natural Resources Deptartment invites you to engage in a workshop focused on asemma (tobacco). Our teachers will begin by sharing traditional teachings and where their knowledge comes from, acknowledging that every community has their own ways. While integrating Ojibwemowin, they’ll also provide instruction while we process asemma together, gathered from this years harvest at the KBIC DIGs Peoples Garden. Please join us as we learn more about asemma and its intended uses in our daily lives of gratitude and respect.

Promoting intergenerational learning and access to healthy foods and medicines with Greg Johnson (Lac du Flambeau Ojibwe) and Adora Nawagesic (Kiashke zaaging Anishinaabe First Nation). All are welcome to come at any time during this community event. A light lunch and refreshments will be provided.

Saturday, Nov. 9, 9 to 4 p.m., in the Zeba Hall.
