‘Wouldn’t you help your relatives survive?’: The return of the Ojibwe horses

Thousands of Ojibwe horses once roamed in the northern United States and Canada in the early 20th century. But, the rare breed almost disappeared entirely by the late 1970s. Last year, a descendant of the White Earth Nation raised money to rescue six Ojibwe horses and give them a home in northwestern Wisconsin. WPR’s Danielle Kaeding brings us this audio postcard about Emily Loerzel, who founded a nonprofit organization called the Humble Horse, which aims to keep the rare breed alive.
