GRAND TRAVERSE AUDUBON CLUB

Our regular programs are usually the second Thursday of the month. They are held typically at Boardman River Nature Center on Cass Road at 7:00 PM.  (Except May/June/July/August) Everyone (including non-members) is welcome to attend!

November 12 (Thursday) – Linda Woods with The Grand Traverse Band of Ottawa and Chippewa Indians
She is a Vietnam-era U.S. Air Force veteran, a substance abuse counselor, and is noted as the first woman veteran to carry a traditional ceremonial Eagle Staff. Her profile and community work are featured by organizations like Michigan Women Forward and the state’s veteran initiatives. In her presentation, Linda will describe her ceremonial Eagle Staff and the steps that led to her earning such an honorable symbol. She will be bringing her Eagle Staff, affectionally named Migizi, with her. In addition, she will describe why, and what birds are so special to the Anishinaabe culture.
