Lifeslices with Steve FisherLifeslices: Coexisting with BeaversWhen Mother Nature created beavers, she proved to have a sense of humor. These funny-looking oversized members of the rodent family have buck teeth and large paddle-like tails, perfect for cartoon characters.

Lifeslices with Steve FisherLifeslices: Speaking IndigenouslyThe Ojibwe people were mainly located in the Great Lakes region of Western New York, Wisconsin, Michigan, Minnesota, and southern Quebec and Ontario. Like other indigenous peoples, they found themselves amidst the British and French settlers of the Americas. Over the decades and centuries since that time, they took to speaking the new pervasive languages and their language found itself becoming less and less common. Now, younger Ojibwe, like so many other indigenous people, are trying to reclaim their heritage. One of those is John-Paul Chalykoff. He talks to host Steve Fisher about Speaking Indigenously.
