To Honour and Respect

Résumé du livre

"Thirteen (13) quilled wiigwaasii makakoon (pronounced weeg-wah-see mah-ka-coon) will be visiting their ancestral lands on Michi Saagiig territory from April 22 to November 18, 2023. Michi Saagiig women gave the thirteen birch bark baskets (makakoon) to the Prince of Wales on September 7, 1860, when he stopped at Rice Lake village (now Hiawatha First Nation) as part of a cross-Canada Royal tour. The exhibition will explore the cultural knowledge, love, respect, and diplomacy that went into the makakoons. The Peterborough Museum & Archives is providing a safe and accessible home for the ancestral makakoons while in Canada"--
