In mid-September, GVSU students, faculty and staff members held a water ceremony at the Grand Ravines Lodge, south of the Allendale Campus.
Lin Bardwell, Native American student initiative coordinator, said local Anishinaabe leaders, representing the Grand River Band of Ottawa Indians, delivered an oral history about Owashtanong — the far-flowing waters of the Grand River and its significance to the Anishinaabe people.
The September 13 event was connected to other Making Waves Initiative activities, including a kayaking event for 100 students from the Frederik Meijer Honors College and participating in the West Michigan Environmental Action Council’s 18th Annual Mayors’ Grand River Cleanup.
