Minwaajimo, Telling A Good Story, Preserving Ojibwe Treaty Rights for the Past 25 Years Symposium was held in Bad River Wisconsin in 2009. The symposium featured rarely heard perspectives and stories from people involved in the treaty rights struggle.  The videos posted here give the viewer a glimpse of the conversations that took place during this event; we hope that these videos will encourage a continued dialogue about the ever evolving conversations taking place regarding Ojibwe Treaty Rights. This panels topic concerns Social, Economic and Political Issues in the post-Voigt era.  Now after the Voigt decision, after 1983, there was incredible unrest. Throughtout our symposium we've heard a synopsis of some of that from certain angles, but in this panel we have people who were deeply and intimately involved in that process.
