The Best Part of Summer

While many love summer for its long hot sun-filled days, for us it means fresh fruit is in season. Nothing beats a bevy of berries when temperatures soar. Yummy!

Good Medicine

June 23, 2009

We had the supreme pleasure of shooting the first annual Summer Solstice Pe-Anihshininiimok Celebration – Come Speak your Language sponsored by Kwayaciiwin Educational Resource Centre. It was a two-day event held near Sioux Lookout that gave local school children a chance to learn some traditional Aboriginal games as well as learn some words in Oji-Cree.

The event also included a storytelling competition and gave adults a chance to relax and take part in some amazingly funny square-dancing and jigging.

William Dumas, executive director of Northern Nishnawbe Education Council said happy events create 'good medicine' that help all people.

We definitely had a blast!
