The story goes that the University of Michigan was founded thanks to a land gift from the people of the three fires: the Ojibwe, the Odawa, and the Potawatomi. But the truth is much more complicated. Artist Cannupa Hanska Luger has been working on this multiyear collaboration with the University of Michigan Museum of Art to examine the stories of the university\\u2019s founding. The culmination is a three part exhibition called You\\u2019re Welcome.
