Maadagindan! Start Reading! Book Club
Books provide a plethora of perspectives, and it is important for people from all walks of life to have access to books about their culture, language, and way of life. Wisconsin Sea Grant and the Great Lakes Indian Fish and Wildlife Commission have teamed up to host a book club called “Maadagindan! Start Reading!”, which aims to increase awareness of Ojibwe culture and teach kids, and educators, about the Great Lakes. It is open to anyone that loves to read with children. This event is monthly, on the second Wednesday of each month at 4:30 p.m., central time.
