Next Monday, Oct. 21, the Sault Ste. Marie Tribe of Chippewa Indians will debut a short documentary about its sustainable fisheries management work.
The film, “Sacred Waters: The First People Taking Care of the Fishery,” is 15 minutes long and highlights the tribe’s deep connection to Michigan’s natural resources. You’ll learn about how the tribe raises fish like whitefish and walleye for homes and businesses.
“It also shows the conservation efforts of our natural resources department and those fish programs that we have,” said Austin Lowes, tribal chairman. “It covers quite a few different topics and we are really proud of that.”
After the film’s showing, there will be a panel discussion and reception. The screening is 6 p.m. at Kewadin’s Dream Makers Theatre. Admission is free.
