Lighting the 7th fire

Osawa, Sandy Sunrising. (Producer, Director). Upstream Productions. (Added Author).

Summary: Examines how the Chippewa Indians of northern Wisconsin struggled to restore the tradition of spear fishing in the waters outside their reservation, including the political and racial opposition they encountered. Relates the re-emergence of traditional fishing rights to the Chippewa prophecy that speaks of seven fires representing seven periods of time, the seventh being a time when lost traditions would be renewed.
