Thank you for registering for Convening Great Lakes Culture Keepers, a regional institute for tribal librarians, archivists, and museum curators! From October 25-28, we will convene at the Mille Lacs Indian Museum and Trading Post for classes, tours, and other events.
Workshops and Classes
Instead of brief conference presentations, the institute’s workshops and daylong classes allow time for everyone to share their knowledge, learn from experts, and practice what they’ve learned through in-class activities. Specifically, we’ll be learning and working together to plan and begin to create a traveling exhibition that tell the story of “We Are Still Here.” The goal is to learn through doing. Many of the classes will incorporate the traveling exhibition through practical, hands-on learning exercises.
Workshop and class descriptions are available here.
