WGZS visit with Fond du Lac Band Member Bill Dupuis on the grand opening of the Skyline Arts Gallery on Boundary Avenue in Duluth.  The gallery sits on a piece of land that is culturally and spiritually significant to local Aniishinaabe people.  It overlooks Spirit Island which is considered the 6th Sacred Stopping Place for Ojibwe people on their journey from the Atlantic Ocean to the Fond du Lac area which occurred about 1,000 years ago.
