The Marquette Regional History Center Presents: The Return: Film and Discussion

Wednesday, October 25, 2023 at 6:30 p.m.

at the Marquette Regional History Center (MRHC)

In June of 2022, the bones of Father Jacques Marquette were reburied in St. Ignace. Learn about our City’s

namesake – the 17th Century Jesuit priest and the remarkable journey of his remains. Following the 23 minute

screening of “The Return” we will have a Q & A featuring guests from the Cedar Tree Institute who were involved

in the re-burial project. They include representatives from Mackinac County’s Native American community, Tony

Grondin and Russ Rickley and members of the staff of the Museum of Ojibwa Culture, Frances Moses Wyers and

Tom Wyers, along with the film’s director, Makari Rising, and the project’s designated historian, Dan Rydholm. A

$5.00 suggested donation will be used to support the ongoing programs of the Marquette Regional History Center.
