I produced this radio spot for MN90: Minnesota History in 90 Seconds, a collaborative audio project from the Minnesota Historical Society and AMPERS.

 

Tribal languages in Minnesota and around the world are in danger of extinction. In this MN90 spot, I report on efforts to ensure that the Ojibwe language survives for future generations.

My roles: Reporting & research, interviewing, field recording, scriptwriting, narration, sound design, sound editing & mixing, final engineering for broadcast
