Myron Johnson of Minneapolis, former artistic director for Ballet of the Dolls, recommends “The Conference of the Birds” from Zorongo Flamenco Dance Theatre. The dance piece is based on an epic poem by 12th-century Persian mystic Farīd al-DīnʿAṭṭār.“It's been performed and created by one of my absolute favorite artists in this community, Susana di Palma,” Johnson said. “I can't imagine anyone taking this story and doing an interpretation any better than Susana and her live musicians and singers and flamenco dancers and original music.”“The Conference of the Birds” plays Feb. 10-11 at the Cowles Center in Minneapolis.Minneapolis resident Mary Thomas is an art historian and arts administrator. She is looking forward to “In the Middle of Somewhere,” an exhibit by artist Martin Gonzales.An alum of the University of Minnesota's art department, Gonzales is based in Massachusetts. Thomas sees Gonzales “grappling with questions of how he takes up space and how he can occupy space in different ways.” “The sculptures are a way to think through and meditate on some of those questions through his own life and his own experience,” Thomas said.The exhibit is on display at the Silverwood Park Visitor Center in St. Anthony through Feb. 29. Linda LeGarde Grover, a member of the Bois Forte Band of Chippewa in northern Minnesota, is a professor emeritus of American Indian Studies at the University of Minnesota Duluth. She's very pleased to recommend the Indigenous Writer Series at AICHO in Duluth. The series features Indigenous writers from around the region. “Some of them will actually have drawings for some of their books, and the community will get to listen to them, ask questions of them and especially hear them talking about their writing,” Grover said. The event Saturday will include authors Tashia Hart of Red Lake Nation and Staci L. Drouillard of Grand Portage Band of Lake Superior Chippewa, from 2-4 p.m. at the Dr. Robert Powless Cultural Center in Duluth.

"a generational history of a sacredness inseparable from place" author Gwen Westerman

Sunday, October 17, 2021 - Two authors and their continued search for identity. We start with Tom Rademacher. He'san English teacher and Minnesota's Teacher of the Year in 2014. His new book, “Raising Ollie,” is the story of his nonbinary, art-obsessed child; a new school where Ollie could flourish; and how raising Ollie led the author into insights about himself. ~~~We visit with Minnesota author Linda LeGarde Grover, author of Gichigami Hearts: Stories and Histories from Misaabekong. It's a collection of twelve loosely connected essays and autobiographical stories that orbit around Linda's family's history and Ojibwe life in Duluth, Minnesota in the twentieth century. ~~~ Biologist Chuck Lura shares a Natural North Dakota essay on chipmunks.

Tuesday, October 12, 2021 - Yesterday was Indigenous People's Day, and today we continue a week of Native American programming as we visit with Minnesota author Linda LeGarde Grover, author of Gichigami Hearts: Stories and Histories from Misaabekong. It's a collection of twelve loosely connected essays and autobiographical stories that orbit around Linda's family's history and Ojibwe life in Duluth, Minnesota in the twentieth century. ~~~ We share a story about the drought in North Dakota from last Thursday's All Things Considered by NPR reporter Kirk Siegler. ~~~ We visit once again with horticulturist Ron Smith as the growing season is about to wrap up.

Linda LeGarde Grover has turned her hand to telling some old stories in her latest book, Gichigami Hearts Stories and Histories from Misaabekong : some imagined, some from her family's history. In part, she says, because she's come to believe "we're reliving the old-time stories every day."

On this Talk of Iowa Book Club, Charity discusses “An American Sunrise” with author and U.S. Poet Laureate Joy Harjo, then has a book club conversation with Linda LeGarde Grover, professor of American Indian Studies, and Mary Swander, former poet laureate of Iowa.

The novel “In the Night of Memory” by Linda LeGarde Grover of the Bois Forte Band of Ojibwe weaves a story about family history that includes the people that sometimes get brushed over or are forgotten. Foster placement and war are two of the forces that change the lives of the Natives characters we meet in this month’s literary feature. They must look inside to face challenges and accept the reality that reconnecting with family is not always easy. We’ll sit down with the Native author to get insights on her latest.

Linda LeGarde Grover reads from her newest book, "Onigamiising: Seasons of an Ojibwe Year" and talks about how it came to be.

Onigamiising is the Ojibwemowin word for Duluth and the surrounding area.

Educational in the most profound sense, these essays in Onigamiising: Seasons of an Ojibwe Year (University of Minnesota Press, 2017) range back and forth between ceremony and tradition, intergenerational trauma and revitalization, domestic pleasures and feasts, and a life well lived.
