The Team

Video Wall Virtual Tour

Beloved by locals and visitors, cared for by community groups and organizations, riven by conflict, injustices, inequities, triumphs and failures, blessed with environmental riches and scarred by poverty, the Calumet Region is a place of poignant contradictions, breathtaking vistas, and deep histories. Sundry amateurs and professionals, individuals and organizations, have chronicled its intertwined political, economic, cultural and ecological histories. Here is a motley quilt of publicly available videos including visual histories, aerial panoramas, interpretive exhibits, personal testimonials, newsreels, documentaries, recorded talks, and archival footage. We will continue to add to this wall as we approach the date of our Congress.
