The Seventh Fire GENERATION - How young aboriginals see the present and future

By: Colleen Simard - 20/09/2009

In The Mishomis Book: The Voice of the Ojibway, Anishinaabe elder Edward Benton-Banai writes about the Seven Fires prophecy of his people. It's a story that predates Canada's existence.

Each prophecy -- called a fire -- is a prediction for the future.

Keewaytinook Okimakanak partner communities are hosting a series of Lands and Resources Video Conference Events. Dr. Scott Hamilton will kick things off by sharing some experiences and tips for communities to explore and record traditional and burial sites. If you're discovering your community's past or would like to find out where to start, join us for this free event.
