  • Aŋpétu Téča Education Center 1910 W. County Road B, Rm 207 Roseville, MN 55113 United States (map)

In-person and zoom options available.

Join St. Paul Audubon for a storytelling event, led by Hope Flanagan.

Winter is traditionally storytelling season in our Native communities in Minnesota.  Many Ojibwe legends (Aadizookaanag) honor our bird relatives.  They were here before we were, so they are considered our elders, teachers, and essential food sources.  They don’t need us–we need them.

Hope Flanagan is an elder who has taught and worked in the Twin Cities Native Community since the late 1970s. She is a long-time Community Outreach and Cultural Teacher at Dream of Wild Health. Before that, Hope taught in an Ojibwe Immersion classroom for ten years and was a storyteller for Minneapolis Public Schools. She teaches about plants and wild plant gathering, and is also an Urban Bird Collective walk leader.
