2024 Ojibwe Storytelling Series
2024 Ojibwe Storytelling Series

The four-part virtual series, returning for its third annual season this year, debuts on January 9

MADISON, Wis., Jan. 4, 2024 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- Back for another season featuring a fresh lineup of inspiring guest speakers, the Wisconsin Historical Society is excited to announce the annual Ojibwe Storytelling Series will return this January. The annual series is a popular, four-part virtual event celebrating winter storytelling season by showcasing the voices and intriguing narratives of Ojibwe storytellers.

"Storytelling is one way that wisdom and knowledge is passed from one generation to the next. It's an important aspect of our Ojibwe culture. This series is an opportunity to share that type of experience with a broader audience," said Liz Arbuckle, northern outreach coordinator for the Wisconsin Historical Society.

An enrolled member of the Lac Courte Oreilles Ojibwe, Sirella Ford is from the Wolf Clan and is called Asiniwaabikwe. She is a graduate of Northland College. Early in her career, she worked for the Great Lakes Indian Fish & Wildlife Commission and has worked most recently in education, sharing her love of Ojibwe culture with her students. She is known for her beautiful beadwork and famous frybread. Sirella was raised in a powwow family, traveling the contest and traditional powwow circuit all over the Midwest and beyond.

She enjoys educating people about traditional wild rice processing, rice chiefs, and the cultural significance of wild rice for Ojibwe. Tina is president of the Wisconsin Tribal Conservation Advisory Council and a former board member for River Alliance of Wisconsin.
