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 profits 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.
