We have visited the museum for years especially to purchase the local native crafts. I really enjoy the programs at the museum and how they work to bring in people from the area that are practicing their culture and share traditions and teachings. It always amazes me the visitors to this area are from so many different places in the... More

Touching the spirit of your grandmothers is an essence of grace, powers and beauty. Grandmother Moon Drummers do great credit to thier mothers, aunts, and sisters.. If you have never heard these Native American woman drummers from Cheboygan you must! We love to be in St. Igance at the Museum of Ojibwe' Culture, exspecially if it is a Fabulous Friday.... More

A little white church holds the history of the Ojibwa people of this region. A visual aspect of how they lived and worked in the area. A special room where a video plays to sit and watch about their history. Souvenirs are available as you leave. A little pricey but made by local Ojibwa people. But remember there is no... More

We were fortunate enough to visit this twice, once during the day and once in the early evening for a walking tour. We learned a lot about Ojibwa culture and later we were allowed to participate with the drumming circle. What an great experience! More

I was deeply touched by the knowledge and generosity of the women who staffed the museum. They were able to make excellent recommendations on reading materials to enlighten me on the life and beliefs of this native people. Their efforts to enlist local native youth in an entrepreneurial program, making and selling their own crafts is just brilliant. The work... More

This former church (still looks like a small, white church from the outside) holds a good hour or so of information and visual learning about Ojibwa and other indigenous Michigan native people. The very detailed model of a typical family in their everyday jobs is fascinating. Histories of how land and its resources were used by the Natives is displayed... More
