Celebrate Indigenous Peoples’ Day with Sam and Travis Zimmerman

Join Zimmerman cousins Sam & Travis as they share how they created their book How the Birds Got Their Songs, a traditional Ojibwe story passed down through the Zimmerman family.

Sam and Travis Zimmerman are descendents of the Grand Portage Band of Ojibwe. Sam is a Duluth-based artist who explores his heritage through art. His work can be found in the books How the Birds Got Their Songs and Following My Spirit Home: A Collection of Paintings and Stories, and on social media @CraneSuperior. His cousin Travis is the site manager at the Mille Lacs Indian Museum and Trading Post. Together, Sam and Travis are continuing the Anishinaabe tradition of storytelling, sharing stories that were passed to them from their great-grandmother through Travis’s father.

Pearl Street Books will be selling copies of the book after the program.
