Tim has had the good fortune to work extensively with Native American nations, most recently with the Grand Portage Band of the Lake Superior Chippewa Tribe.
Tim plans on reading highlights from his recently published book. He will talk about the connections of the Linklaters with other Anishinaabe people living along the border lakes. The Linklaters lived on Basswood Lake for most of their adult lives. They lived in a period of great change in the north such as the cutting of white pine, the creation of conservation units and reserves in Canada escalation in mining, etc. John Linklater was born in 1870 and died in 1933. Tchi-Ki-Wis Linklater of Lac La Croix first nation was born c. 1873 and died 1934.
His new book will be available to purchase at the presentation and he will be happy to autograph them.
