Carter Meland, Assistant Professor, UMD American Indian Studies; Thursday, April 8, 4 PM (CST) Blending poetry and critical reflections, this virtual talk engages with the truths in American Indian literature by looking at novels, oral stories, and rock art in an attempt to make sense of the Anishinaabe manidoo (spirit) of honesty, Bahwajinini, also known as Bigfoot in English. Filmed at sites around UMD and the North Shore, this presentation takes you out of the usual Zoom room and gets you out in the woods, down by the lake, or knee deep in the swamp.
