Launching Anung at St. Ignace History Week
It was such a great pleasure being able to launch Anung’s Journey from the heart of Ojibwa lands, especially during such an exciting time as St. Ignace’s History Week. I made drums with an Ojibway elder, learned about the traditional dances, saw traditional regalia, and enjoyed some delicious delicacies like maple candy and roast duck. Judy Bonello from the Museum of Ojibwa Culture was gracious enough to take some pictures of the festivities, and I am excited to share them with you here!

I couldn’t make out the name of the shelter style, reed mats and birch bark sheets, very portable, very authentic

I love fry bread, and ate some wrapped around a hot dog! Best of both worlds!
You’ll love the people you meet at the Museum of Ojibwa Culture.
