Anna Gibbs preserved Ojibwe language and culture

Anna Gibbs has died and if you know any history of the Ojibwe in Minnesota, there’s a fair chance Anna Gibbs had something to do with it.

The Bemidji Pioneer reports she died of liver cancer on Sunday at 72.

She was an Ojibwe spiritual leader, a role dominated by men, and tried to save the Ojibwe language and history, accomplished thanks to her work with Anton Treuer, the Bemidji State professor who teamed with Gibbs to write Warrior Nation: A History of the Red Lake Ojibwe.
