Life on the Water - Ancient Dugouts on Mooningwanaakaning
Written By Skabewis
The White Pine blocks have arrived from Redby, Minnesota (Red Lake Ojibwe Reservation) for the new Ojibwe Nation Navy Fleet. Come visit La Pointe, on Madeline Island in Lake Superior July 6-31. 2022 for an Indigenous Trade and Market experience. Put your hands on history and volunteer to take a few inches out for the island's newest ancient vessel.
Chiimigwech to Fred Auginash, Roy Nelson, Rob and Vickey Fineday and all the Red Lake Nation folks who welcomed us and helped us harvest, haul and prepare two ancient white pine trees for the dugout canoes we are building at Madeline Island. Also a big Migwech to Zac And Kaitlyn Grenier for lovingly housing us
