Lac Courte Oreilles Band of Lake Superior Chippewa Indians of Wisconsin

The Lac Courte Oreilles (LCO) Tribal Museum and Visitor Center will partner with LCO Ojibwe schools, and the LCO Ojibwe University Community Library to create a project-based learning program for 8th to 10th grade students. The Tribe will hire a project coordinator who will serve as a liaison between the museum, library, and LCO schools, and will develop and conduct instructional programming utilizing primary source documents and artifacts. Through collaborative resource-sharing, LCO institutions will provide opportunities that connect Ojibwe students with their heritage in a meaningful context. As a result, the project will deepen students’ appreciation of cultural practices and their value and further Tribal-wide efforts to preserve Ojibwe history, culture, and language.
