Indigenous Languages Series: Henry Pitawanakwat, Ojibwe Episode 3

Henry Pitawanakwat is with the Three Fires Confederacy from Wiikwemkoong Unceded Territory.

The Anishinaabe people live in both Canada and the United States, concentrated around the Great Lakes. Their traditional territories extend to the Ottawa River Valley west across Northern Ontario and to the plains of Saskatchewan south to the northeast corner of North Dakota, northern Minnesota and Michigan, and the northern shores of Lakes Ontario and Erie.

Henry shares the history of his people and their connection to the land and how they were removed for their traditional territories to be situated onto reservations.

The project is funded by the government of Canada through the Department of Canadian Heritage and distributed with help from the Inuit Broadcasting Corporation and First Peoples Radio Inc.
