Author Jim Northrup honors his Ojibway heritage with his award winning poems, short stories, and barbed humor. The film follows Jim from his home on the Fond du Lac Reservation in northern Minnesota as he travels across the country, living his life in accord with the seasons. Jim celebrates spring by spearing fish and sugar bushing. In the summer, he attends powwows and makes birch bark baskets. The fall is spent harvesting wild rice and hunting moose. Jim also makes a visit to the Vietnam Memorial Wall in Washington, D.C. During the winter, he tells stories to make the season seem shorter.
Produced by Mike Rivard and Mike Hazard for the Native Arts Circle, a non-profit, statewide arts agency in Minneapolis.
