See where the Creator rested: Manitoulin Islands
Alan Corbiere, an Ojibwe himself, and executive director of the Ojibwe Cultural Foundation welcomed us, and all his fellow human beings, to come and enjoy 'Spirit Island' or Manitoulin Island as it more famously known. From June to the beginning of October all 7 of the First Nations tribes on the island are very alive and active in presenting their rich culture to all the visitors from around the world that come to the island to enjoy it's beauty and culture. Everyone can experience the rich and very wonderful First Nations culture.
Every weekend there is a pow wow or cultural experience of some sort to take part in. There are also many interpretive centers, museums and craft shops all linked into the Great Circle Trail that dissects Manitoulin Island. The trail itself is worth the trip but if you have never been to a pow wow than it is an exhilarating cultural event, that you must experience firsthand. Music, dance, singing, native costumes they all blend together to make a riveting and unforgettable experience.
A pow wow is a celebration of color, noise and energy that has been a part of the First Nations culture for centuries. Giving thanks and praying to the Gods for all the bounty given to them from Mother Earth and praying for a prosperous upcoming season is part of the First Nations culture and it is done through the pow wow. It's a powerful experience based on centuries of ritual and practice.
Manitoulin Island is rated the second best place in the world for sailing after the Greek Islands. It's bays, inlets, calm waters and beautiful scenery make it a sailors dream. But getting off the water and stepping foot on land to experience the First Nations culture is equally rewarding. Manitoulin Island is a magnificent part of Canada and the world, and is worth visit by land or by sea. You on your own or take your family but get to Manitoulin. It's worth the trip.
They don't call it the Great Spirit Island for nothing!

In My Own Eyes - Lyndzii Taibossigoui
Age: 28
Community: M'Chigeeng
In My Own Eyes is a partnership between the Ontario Ministry of Aboriginal Affairs and Harbourfront Centre. This project gives Aboriginal youth a chance to share their stories with people across the province. They also learn the role photography can have in storytelling and social change.
Aboriginal youth, both on-reserve and urban, are mentored in their communities by an Aboriginal photographer. Over the course of three days, the mentors teach youth basic photographic history, theory, techniques and equipment. The participants learn that photography can be a new and slower way of seeing. They also learn how to use the mediums of colour, shape, pattern and texture to create a narrative. The youth use digital cameras in the local environment to try this new way of seeing and to tell their stories.
