“The Rivers Have Always Spoken. It Is Time For Us To Listen.

A young French Canadian girl and Anishnaabe boy are growing up fast on the land and waters of Algoma in the 1940s.

On the banks of the Penewabekong Ziibii, Thunderbird Woman is preparing to make an offering to the water.

At the Wharncliffe Hall, the loggers are getting ready to host a square dance in celebration of the end of log run season.

Come hear an all-ages cast of community performers and Elders share these and other stories and teachings using local cultural, musical, and storytelling traditions and ceremony in eight magical performances at the Mississaugi First Nation Pow Wow Grounds.

You don’t want to miss this river journey of a lifetime!
