Our Vision

We envision a world where people understand and honor their relationship with the arts, indigenous culture, and nature.

Our Mission

We foster Ober’s legacy and North Woods island home as a source of inspiration, renewal, and connection to Indigenous Peoples, kindred spirits, and the natural world.Gi-bezhig-oomin
