FROM SMOKE SIGNALS TO CELL PHONES
The Henry Laboucan Story
as told to
RITA MAKKANNAW
AS A SMALL CHILD HENRY LIVED A HAPPY PEACEFUL LIFE
in the isolated community of Lubicon Lake until the
arrival of settlers.
In his own words (as told to Rita Makkannaw) Henry will take
you through the nightmare of being ripped from his family
and sent to St. Bernard Residential School in Grouard
Alberta. After spending some years raging, he reconnected
with elders and found peace in the traditional ways. Henry
openly shares his healing journey back to harmony. His story
is a true account of one Cree man’s chapter in Canadian
history.
Henry had a dream of sharing traditional knowledge with the
coming faces of his people. Therefore 100% of profi ts will
go to Mihkowapikwaniy Cultural Camp which is a storytelling
leadership gathering located in Lubicon Traditional
Territory where culture is celebrated, and traditions are
passed down.
RITA IS A DANISH/CANADIAN WOMAN WHO IMMIGRATED
to Northern Alberta at the age of nine. At age 41 she
met and married a Cree elder, Raven Makkannaw. Together they
dedicated their lives to create harmony between all people.
In that quest Rita met Henry and was his friend for over
thirty years. She is humbled and honored that he trusted her
to capture his words just the way he wanted them.

“Our modern
world,
in its
explosive change, has
lost some of its
old knowledge
on how to live life in
harmony and balance.”
