* "Survivance is more than survival. Survivance means redefining ourselves. It means raising our social and politicl consciousness. It means building on to ancient principles while eagerly embracing change. It means doing what is necessary to keep the culture alive." Gerald Vizenor, Anishinaabe scholar.

Heard Museum Mast
