Description"Illustrated with 70 color images of visually powerful historical and contemporary works, this book ... which accompanies an exhibition of the same title opening in August 2013 at the National Museum of the American Indian in New York ... reveals how Anishinaabe (also known in the United States as Ojibwe or Chippewa) artists have expressed the deeply rooted spiritual and social dimensions of their relations with the Great Lakes region." Foreword. The Anishinaabeg and the Great Lakes / Kevin Gover -- Introduction. Water, Earth, Sky / David W. Penney -- Animikii miinwaa Mishibizhiw : Narrative Images of the Thunderbird and the Underwater Panther / Alan Corbiere and Crystal Migwans -- Things Anishinaabe : Art, Agency, and Exchange across Time / Ruth B. Phillips -- The Anishinaabe Artistic Consciousness / Gerald McMaster -- Excerpt from Shrouds of White Earth / Gerald Vizenor. From an exhibit at the Saugatuck Douglas History Center July 1 -- October 10, 2021. Seven artists from the Anishinaabe culture who live in our region will fill the gallery at the Saugatuck Douglas History Center with sculpture, paintings, beadwork and mixed media. The men and women who bring their work to our communities combine their respect of cultural traditions and images with contemporary sensitivities and themes. By celebrating their past, these artists define who they are today. Prepare to discover a dynamic and evolving culture where history, identity, social justice and environmental issues are brought up in the works presented. The visual messages are strong and clear. It takes time to look and listen to the voice that created the work.
