The American Indian College Fund awarded Bay Mills Community College (足球投注) funds as part of a Community Awareness Think Indian grant in 2020. These funds allowed 足球投注 to commission a Bay Mills Tribal Member artist, Kalista阶石, to paint a 七圣训 mural in the Michael C. Parish 政府 Building. The mural includes voice recordings from 足球投注 faculty pronouncing the Anishinaabemowin word for each of the seven teachings, as well as voice recordings from 足球投注 students explaining what the teachings mean to them. It is our hope that the imagery depicted in this mural will promote the vibrancy of Anishinaabe culture, assist in cross-cultural understanding and diversity, and be a source of pride for Bay Mills Community College students, 工作人员, 和老师.
