Ojibwe culture is an everyday thing. It’s tHE minute you wake up and then go to sleep. it’s there. that’s what I teach my grandchildren.

Sarah Jackson is a life long resident of Inger Minnesota, a small village of 77 persons located on the Leech Lake Reservation.  She is well known for making regalia, caring for her many grandchildren and being a keeper of a drum.  

Her granddaughter Luna, spends time with her learning to sew, learning her culture and receiving stories about her family.
