GRAND RAPIDS — Visitors can experience an opportunity to learn about Indigenous history at the ForestHistory Center with author Timothy Cochrane.
Cochrane will share stories from his new book, Making the Carry. Guests are invited to hear about the illustrated biography, which follows the lives of John and Tchi-Ki-Wis Lanklater, a Métis man and Anishinaabe woman. The event is 1-3 p.m. Saturday, April 22. Cost is included with regular site admission.
History lovers can examine the often-overlooked geography and historical significance of the border country of Ontario and Minnesota between the 1870s and 1930s.
Cochrane has worked extensively with Native American tribes throughout his career as a historian, anthropologist and a superintendent for the National Park Service. Books will be available after the presentation.
This is the final event of the Forest History Center’s 2023 winter lecture series. For more information about summer programming, visit mnhs.org/foresthistory.
