It celebrates the cultural and spiritual beliefs and practices of the Algonquin Anishinaabe People. The featured artists of the project are Nish Nabie, wood carver, and Deborah Arnold, stone carver, who are working cooperatively to reflect the nature of the Truth and Reconciliation process.

A must do by yourself or with your family! |
