Heavy Duty Publications

I’m an enrolled member of the Red Lake Band of Chippewa Indians. Red Lake is located in northcentral Minnesota. I grew up in St. Paul, Minnesota. My mother, Clara was a member of Red Lake, and my father was enrolled in Lower Sioux Indian Community in southwestern Minnesota. I transferred schools to attend Red Lake High School in 1964. Before graduating in 1970 I attended Kent State University in Kent Ohio. I wasn’t there very long due to the National Guard shooting eleven people in May of that year. Four of those shot died at the scene.
