East Helena Celebrating 25 Years Friends hosting "Living with the Land" conversation with Louise Ogemahgeshig Fischer
As part of the year long Celebrating 25 Years, the Friends of East Helena Branch Library are hosting Louise Ogemahgeshig Fischer. Louise has been a speaker for Humanities Montana for many years, traveling to many parks, museums, schools and other places throughout the state. She is an artist and a drum maker. She also leads sweat lodge ceremonies and talking circles for the VA at Fort Harrison, helping out the PTSD Veterans. Louise has traveled to many states to do sweat lodge ceremonies for the Veterans, the VA staff, Tribes and other groups (in the past these ceremonies and other like ceremonies were not allowed. Since then, laws were passed to ensure that Indian people could do these types of ceremonies). For an exciting adventure into the past, present and future.
