They also conducted interviews with members of the Ogitchedaw, members of the Three Fires Tribes and scholars and historians. Frank Boles, director of Clarke Historical Library, says the documentary ties together the Native American and Civil War collections at the Clarke Historical Library. ���This is such a wonderful opportunity for us,��� Boles says. ���I���m pleased we could help support this documentary that presents such an important part of our history.��� Clarke Historical Library is one of 14 organizations receiving a $15,000 grant from the Michigan Humanities Council. The grant provided funding for completing the film, which Schock began producing in 2010. �� ��� Through May 6 ��� Baber Room, Park Library Enhanced photographs of microscopic views of crystalline structures ��� May 7 through June 12 ��� Third Floor Exhibit Area, Park Library Dow Chemical Portrayed Oil paintings of The Dow Chemical Company created by English artist Arthur Henry Knighton-Hammond ��� May 7 through June 26 ��� Baber Room, Park Library Our Front Porch Celebrating 30 years of live music recorded for broadcast on CMU Public Radio ��� August 2013 through January 2014 ��� Clarke Historical Library ��� clarke.cmich.edu Hot Rize on Our Front Porch 11
