A family of strong women: Anishinaabe family makes their way in the business of fashion

Lavender Hunt

Ojibwe artists from the Leech Lake Nation

We continue our Strong Women series with a family of women who are making their mark in business, in culture and in fashion. 

The Strong Women series on KAXE is made possible by the

Arts and Cultural Heritage Fund and the citizens of Minnesota.

Facilitator Laura Connelly and KAXE's Heidi Holtan had the chance to talk with what it means to be strong and what it means to be making a mark in the world of fashion.
