SUMMARY:Book Club: The Firekeeper's Daughter
DESCRIPTION:Pick up a book at the library and join us for a great discussion. This is the Great Michigan Read book for this year so we have copies that you can take and share with friends.\n“Eighteen-year-old Daunis Fontaine has never quite fit in\, both in her hometown and on the nearby Ojibwe reservation. She dreams of a fresh start at college\, but when family tragedy strikes\, Daunis puts her future on hold to look after her fragile mother. The only bright spot is meeting Jamie\, the charming new recruit on her brother Levi’s hockey team.\nYet even as Daunis falls for Jamie\, she senses the dashing hockey star is hiding something. Everything comes to light when Daunis witnesses a shocking murder\, thrusting her into an FBI investigation of a lethal new drug. \nReluctantly\, Daunis agrees to go undercover\, drawing on her knowledge of chemistry and Ojibwe traditional medicine to track down the source. But the search for truth is more complicated than Daunis imagined\, exposing secrets and old scars. At the same time\, she grows concerned with an investigation that seems more focused on punishing the offenders than protecting the victims.\nNow\, as the deceptions―and deaths―keep growing\, Daunis must learn what it means to be a strong Anishinaabe kwe (Ojibwe woman) and how far she’ll go for her community\, even if it tears apart the only world she’s ever known.” \nFunding for the Great Michigan Read program is provided by Michigan Humanities.

SUMMARY:Extraordinary Women of the U.P. Exhibit Opening
DESCRIPTION:To celebrate Women’s History Month and the great accomplishments of women across the region\, the Beaumier U.P. Heritage Center is opening the exhibition\, “Extraordinary Women of the U.P.\,” on Saturday\, March 23 at 1 p.m. The event will take place in the Center’s gallery in Gries Hall on the campus of Northern Michigan University and is free and open to the public. The exhibition will be on display through August 3 and then will begin touring the Upper Peninsula in the fall of 2024. It is funded in part by a grant from the Michigan Humanities Council\, an affiliate of the National Endowment for the Humanities. \n“Extraordinary Women of the U.P.” will feature the stories of no less than 60 women who made an impact in many different categories including the arts\, education\, politics\, medicine\, activism and public service. Many were born and raised in the Upper Peninsula and others came to the region later in life\, but they all share in common great accomplishments in their careers\, volunteerism and community service. Some of the women went on to have careers that have had an impact on the nation and even the world where others stayed in their hometowns and made them better communities for everyone. \nMuch of the research for the exhibition was conducted by students of Dr. Emily Romeo’s women’s history course in the fall of 2023 at Northern Michigan University. Nominees were also submitted by local historical societies and private individuals.  The final list was determined by a committee consisting of: Lisa Cromell\, director of the Munising School Public Library; Kathleen Long\, director of the Iron County Historical Museum; Elise Nelson\, director of the Carnegie Museum of the Keweenaw; Dr. Emily Romeo\, assistant professor of history\, Northern Michigan University; Daniel Truckey\, director/curator of the Beaumier U.P. Heritage Center. \nA short list of some the individuals featured in the exhibition include the pioneering accordionist Viola Turpeinen\, the Anishinaabe poetess Jane Johnston Schoolcraft\, medical researcher Kathleen Shingler Weston\, politician Connie Berube Binsfeld\, labor organizer Annie Clemenc and many more iconic figures who have made the world a better place. Where many of the women are household names in the U.P.\, the community had some amazing discoveries of some lesser known yet fantastic women\, such as\, the civil rights activist and suffragette Blanche Williams Stubbs\, daredevil wing/walker Sarah Kalishek\, to an early disability advocate and publisher Nettie Steffenson Thorborg. \nFor more information go to www.nmu.edu/beaumier or call 906-227-3212. \nFunding for this program was provided by Michigan Humanities – Humanities Grant.
