BarbBarton

As a kid Barb Barton wanted to make movies.  Well, she never did take it up professionally but has a great time filming her good friend Helen Roy (Wikwemikong First Nation).  Her videos are entertaining as well as educational...how to make some favorite Anishnabek recipes and learn a bit of the Ojibwe language as well.  Helen teaches Ojibwe language at Michigan State University and devotes her life to saving this language from extinction.  She is also a musical performer, half of Diiva miinwa Davis.  They have several CDs out on Sunshine Records that are collections of pop/country/rock/gospel tunes translated into Anishnabowin (ojibwe language). Visit the web page at www.worldwidesunshine.com.

Barb is also an accomplished singer/songwriter, guitarist, and performer whose music has been touching the lives of people since the mid-1980's.  She has won several Michigan music awards.
