Steve Premo, an Ojibwe artist, living at Mille Lacs, wants artists to
put their passion for survival into making the Lac Courte Oreilles
history mural project.
Premo painted a mural for the Mille Lacs Tribe entitled, "Journey

energy and pain it takes to keep a culture viable, as you would a
birchbark canoe.
