National Aboriginal Day--Education for Canadians

Lacrosse in Action
Sainte-Marie among the Hurons created an informative, active, educational and fun day for all ages on National Aboriginal Day June 21.  If by chance you missed this event you can still catch a weekend of events on June 25, 26 as National Aboriginal Month continues with the Aboriginal Festival Weekend. 

For more than 2 hours the kids were kept busy and fascinated with a variety of activities including  story telling and drumming, outdoor lacrosse in the fort, making a bone game, water proofing a canoe with pine tar, making faces in clay, decorating a mini-paddle, and watching historic native dancing...the chicken dance was very entertaining.   Stay in Midland area with a variety of accommodation.
