Summary

The Beaver Island District Library announced two March 2025 programs: a March 10 Native-craft session with Sally Ramy on beadwork, dreamcatchers, and bone collars, and a March 17 Native storytelling program with JoAnne Cook. The notices identify the presenters’ tribal, judicial, and family connections and frame the programs as opportunities to share Native culture and traditions.

The Library announced a March 10 program with Sally Ramy on beadwork, dreamcatchers, and bone collars. Ramy’s self-description identifies her as an Ojibwe Bear Clan and Grand Traverse Band member, and says her mother was born and raised on Beaver Island and entered the Ancestral Realm in January 2024. Those biographical and cultural statements are retained as self-described, not independently adjudicated.
