A Conversation on “The Gift” and Reciprocity
Ojibwe.net and UMMA have partnered together to create this video. The video is based on a conversation between Bonnie, the exhibit curator, Jennifer Friess, and American Culture student, Fionnan Noori about the creation of “The Gift” and what it can teach us about reciprocity, identity and belonging, and reconciliation.
