Join us as we explore and learn about our Anishinaabe sugarbush traditions. We invite you to listen to a story about our relative, Ninaatigwaaboo (Maple Tree Water) and share some of our cultural traditions that take place each year in a Maple stand at our iskigamizigan (sugar camp). Learn about our cultural protocols and see how we harvest materials from the land to make Anishnaabe sugarbush traditional tools from basswood, birchbark, and spruce roots. Making Maple Syrup over an open fire is a strong part of the Spring Equinox for Anishinaabeg. This time of year is sacred and special, representing and celebrating new life. We will share some of this year's ninaatigwaaboo (maple tree water), and offer a glimpse into our Anishinaabe family iskigamizigan.
