This project will gather the journals, work, letters, audio tapes, and oral teaching of Keewaydinoquay into a volume that share the stories of her adult life. The volume may include photos, drawing, and poetry.

This volume would build upon a book, Keewadinoquay, Stories From My Youth, which was published by the University of Michigan Press in 2006. That project also received a Michigan Humanities Council grant. The Holy Hill Center will host public presentations and discussions about Keewadinoquay, and work with humanities departments in high schools and colleges to include into the curriculum.
