ESCANABA -- Escanaba High School students were treated to a presentation on the Seventh Fire Project which is based on Native American stories.

Aimee Cree Dunn is the coordinator for the project and an instructor at the Center for Native American studies at NMU.  She travels all around the U.P. to visit schools.
    
The Seventh Fire Project takes a look at a traditional Native American story which focuses on reviving traditional lifestyles.

"If you look at it from a lot of native cultural perspectives, we have a responsibility on this Earth to not only look after ourselves and our future generations, but everything else that's living on this planet with us," said Dunn.

Dunn hopes to expand the program to northern Wisconsin.
