With James Vukelich
This talk will present the traditional teachings of the Anishinaabeg as a means of developing
interconnectedness and interdependence. The seven grandfather teachings, the sacred law
of the Anishinaabeg, show us how to lead Mino-bimaadiziwin ‘the good life' a life of
without contradiction or conflict, a life of peace and balance.

A power point presentation that provides a brief narrative of the many uses for wigwas (birch bark) and our sacred medicines. We will also have a video of Al Hunter demonstrating how to harvest wigwas that they can bring back to their communities as a educational component. Participants will learn through a hands-on experience of making birch bark earrings with porcupine quills.
