Leelanau.com shares that the film Anangong Miigaading, the original Star Wars- A New Hope from 1977 that is dubbed entirely in the Anishinaabemowin (Ojibwe) language premiers TONIGHT at the State theatre in Traverse City. I encourage you to check it out if you’re close enough, but even more I am encouraging you (yes you, Michigan loving reader) to contact your local theater and urge them to bring a showing one of the most powerful films of all time in the language of the land you live in.

You can also listen to an Interlochen Public Radio interview of Theresa Eischen (voicing Princess Leia) about what drew her to the project: check out the trailer for Anangong Miigaading (Star Wars- A New Hope) below!
