Traditional Ojibwe Ways of Life

 

Have you always wondered about the Indigenous Peoples of Canada? Their traditions, culture, and history? No worry, because I will tell you about some of our traditions!

In this article, I will share two areas that are important to our culture: fasting ceremonies and vision quests.

Exploring the Great Outdoors in Muskoka, Ontario, Canada

Muskoka is a beautiful place to live and visit, known for its beautiful landscapes, sunsets, and waterways. We all know traveling and entertainment in cottage country can be pricey. I’d like to show you three beautiful parks you can enjoy for the day...absolutely free! I’ve been fortunate enough to call Bracebridge my home for the past 10 years. All three of these nature spots are located within a 15-minute drive of downtown Bracebridge, right in the heart of Muskoka.

Swimming in the water here at my home on Manido-Mnising (Manitoulin Island) on Lake Huron in Ontario, Canada, is sacred to me.

Every year, there is only one priority in my life that comes above all else in Summer: Swimming the rivers and water surrounding the Island.

I grew up in water, on it, and around it. Most of my life has been spent seeking to learn how to swim in harmony and balance with nature

This summer, my husband and I undertook a move. A relocation from Massachusetts to Arizona has been undertaken by others, no doubt. We decided to make things a little more interesting than a direct route. We headed north. Our circuitous route is winding us through Newfoundland, Portugal, and North Carolina. When one would think to take the southerly route from the Carolina’s to Arizona in the winter months, we will make Bugs Bunny’s famous right turn at Albuquerque to get to Bozeman, Montana. Then, we’ll drive to Arizona.

Such is the case with an extraordinary artist, Gerard Brender à Brandis, whom we interviewed at his studio in Stratford, Ontario several years ago, and kept visiting whenever we were in town. (His studio is closed now, and only open by appointment.)
