Today on Lake Effect, we learn about Act 31 - the legislation that required Wisconsin schools to teach about Native American history, culture and tribal sovereignty. Then, we speak with a local voice actor featured in an Ojibwe dubbing of Star Wars: A New Hope. Plus, we look at a book that explores the significance of corn to the Oneida Nation people.
