"The Four Directions" to air on PBS

Posted originally on October 27, 2007
The program "The Four Directions and the Waganakising Odawa" which RPM completed for the Little Traverse Bay Bands of Odawa will be airing on PBS affiliate stations in Michigan during the month of November for Native American Month. Check your local listings for times."Four Directionss offers a rich visual tapestry that draws the viewer into the center of the Odawa world. This superb documentary, narrated by tribal elders, makes the complex cycle of Anishnaabe symbolism and cosmology easy for even young viewer to understand. We come to appreciate how the fabric of Odawa cultural life is woven from the threads of ancient tradition as well as modern practice." Charles E. Cleland. Ph.D Author of "Rites of Conquest"
