People of the Three Fires Dedication Ceremony at 2:30
University of Michigan-Flint campus
At the bridge behind the Recreation Building
Several years ago, Yolanda Aguilar (Yaqui) was asked by the Sierra Club to
design a plaque that would honor the American Indian people who live in
greater
Flint area. Aguilar took her inspiration from the Chippewa, Odawa, and
Potawatomi people...the People of Three Fires. Her design was then created in
bronze supported with contributions from many community organizations
including the University of Michigan Flint's American Indian Student
Organization.
The University of Michigan-Flint and the City of Flint's Department of Parks
and Recreation selected a site on campus and a massive rock was moved to the
bridge. The plaque will be attached to the rock. The site on campus was a
summer meeting place for American Indians from all over the continents who
came
here for the summer for family reunions, renewals of friendship, trading,
fishing, hunting, and to collect flint stones.
The dedication ceremony for Aguilar's plaque will be at 2:30 p.m.
Volunteers participating in the Flint River Cleanup will also participate in
the ceremony, and the public is invited to also participate.
For information please call Catherine R. Davids at 762-3328 (UM-Flint) or John
Freeman at 766-6876 (City of Flint).
Yolanda Aguilar is a long-time resident of Flint, Michigan. Her brother
George Aguilar is a well-known Hollywood stunt coordinator and actor. He has
appeared in many movies and television programs. Yolanda had a short-lived
career in Hollywood, working in several films, before returning to Flint to
care for her family.
