Mike Chosa, a member of the Chippewa tribe who worked as a Native American activist for much of his life within the Midwest, particularly in Chicago and from his home in Lac du Flambeau, WI. He was a well-respected elder and member of the Lac du Flambeau Tribal Council when he passed away on April 18, 2012, at the age of 76. This footage comes from a series of tapes recorded in 1976 by Communications for Change, an early Chicago video group set up to provide a forum to people who ordinarily didn’t have one.
