Anishinaabe Bizindamoo Makak Episode 21 – Mille Lacs elder Obizaan (Lee Staples) and Chato Gonzales
Program host Erik Redix recently visited with Obizaan–Lee Staples, a Mille Lacs elder and monolingual/first speaker of Anishinaabemowin. In this episode Obizaan’s apprentice Chato Gonzales translates what Obizaan has to say about teaching respect for all things–our elders, the animals, trees, the water–and how he believes that these cultural beliefs about teaching and learning respect relate to the National problem of gun violence and mass shootings.
