MADELINE ISLAND, Wis. -- Madeline Island Historical Museum wil show the
film, "A Gift to One, A Gift to Many -- James Jackson Sr., Ojibwe
Medicine Man," at 7 p.m. on Thursday, July 6.
The historical documentary film covers the life and work of Jimmy
Jackson, an Ojibwe medicine man from the Fond du Lac Reservation.
This award winning film is an intimate portrait of an Ojibwe elder and
Indian doctor as told in his own words. The film was first publicly
premiered at Lincoln Center in New York City at the Native American Film
Festival in 1992.
The film includes vivid scenes of the work of a contemporary Ojibwe
elder in his many roles as a healer, teacher, spiritual leader, and
social worker. This acclaimed video was broadcast nationally on PBS and
has been used widely by tribes, schools, and universities to promote
understanding of Ojibwe cultural ways.
Emmy award winning producer/director Lorraine Norrgard will be on hand
to answer questions about the film and give insights into the filmmaking
process.
The museum is open daily from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. opposite the ferry
landing on Madeline Island. For more information contact Steve
Cotherman, museum director, at (715) 747-2415.
