On this trek of the Great Lakes Odyssey Radio Hour we examine how climate shapes and defines culture. Oxford University professor, international historian, and author Peter Frankopan helps us think through the implications of climate change on the Great Lakes. Andrew McAnsh is a composer, award-winning trumpeter and masters graduate of the Berklee Global Jazz Institute, shares Music of the Great Lakes: A Songbook for the Canadian Indigenous. Akua Tuta, the song and lyrics by Claude McKenzie / Erich Michel Poirier / Florent Vollant as performed with Robbie Robertson & The Red Road Ensemble.
