Seven Sacred Teachings
The American Indian College Fund awarded Bay Mills Community College (BMCC) funds as part of a Community Awareness Think Indian grant in 2020. These funds allowed BMCC to commission a Bay Mills Tribal Member artist, Kalista Perron, to paint a Seven Sacred Teachings mural in the Michael C. Parish Administration Building. The mural includes voice recordings from BMCC faculty pronouncing the Anishinaabemowin word for each of the seven teachings, as well as voice recordings from BMCC students explaining what the teachings mean to them. It is our hope that the imagery depicted in this mural will promote the vibrancy of Anishinaabe culture, assist in cross-cultural understanding and diversity, and be a source of pride for Bay Mills Community College students, staff, and faculty.
