We understand that acknowledgment by itself is a small gesture and People First Economy continues to do the ongoing work of coupling land acknowledgments with authentic relationships and informed action. But we also know that naming can be an exercise in power so we are taking this step toward honoring Native communities and enacting the much larger project of decolonization and reconciliation. 5% of event proceeds will go towards the Michigan based Native Justice Coalition. About Us | Native Justice Coalition \nSafety Expectations:\nTo meet safely\, event attendees are expected to adhere to current CDC recommendations. Masks are optional and we have developed a sticker system to identify attendees’ comfort levels. Changes to this protocol will be made when/if necessary. The new COVID vaccine is available at your local pharmacy. We ask any attendant that is experiencing symptoms to stay home. Before You Throw Out “Expired” Tests: Check FDA’s website to see if your COVID-19 tests’ expiration dates have been extended. \nThis event will be photographed by People First Economy team members. By choosing to come to this event\, you are consenting to having your photo taken for social media purposes.\nLink to buy tickets: 2024 Annual Meeting Tickets\, Thu\, Feb 29\, 2024 at 4:00 PM | Eventbrite

SUMMARY:Dan Fountain's "He Went Down with His Ship: Captain Burke and the Steamer Arlington"
DESCRIPTION:Join the Marquette Maritime Museum for this exciting new shipwreck discovery at our March Maritime History on Tap.\n\nIn the summer of 2023\, a group of local shipwreck hunters\, including Marquette Maritime Museum board member Dan Fountain\, set out on Lake Superior in search of the famous “ghost ship” of the Great Lakes\, the steamer Bannockburn. They succeeded in finding an intact steel steamer in deep water near the middle of the lake and reached out to the Great Lakes Shipwreck Historical Society (GLSHS) for help in identifying a potential wreck. The GLSHS’s David Boyd towed a Marine Sonic Technology side-scan sonar over the anomaly and the wreck revealed its identity as the Arlington\, sunk in a storm in 1940. The wreck has tales to tell of rescue by a nearby freighter\, the first trip on the lake for two young deckhands\, and the veteran captain who didn’t (or couldn’t?) abandon ship and went down to a watery grave.\n\nDan Fountain presents “He Went Down with His Ship: Captain Burke and the Steamer Arlington\,” March 5\, 7:00pm\, at the Ore Dock Brewing Company. $5 suggested donation at the door. Call 906-226-2006 for more information.
