Aboriginal-First Nations History Celebrated in Historic Huronia

 

Historic Huronia…………. 2009. The month of September signals the fall harvest and the Georgian Bay Native Friendship Centre Pow Wow taking place at at Sainte Marie Park  Georgian Bay Native Friendship Centre 705.526.5589

 

Visitors to the Pow Wow should consider a trip over to  The Ouendat Village and Huronia Museum a replica Huron village which existed before the European arrival in North America.   Jamie Hunter, Executive Director of the Huronia Museum, says "The North Simcoe communities of Midland and Penetanguishene have long felt that Aboriginal and Métis history were a vital part of the communities tradition……..in the1940s and 1950s extensive archeological research was carried out on such sites as Sainte-Marie among the Hurons, and the Huron villages of St. Ignace, Forget, and St. Louis. The results culminated in a joint Federal, Provincial & Municipal development of area historical attractions in the region now referred to as Historic Huronia. The historic creations reflect a commitment to honour Aboriginal peoples and define their important role in the development of the country.  Back to home page for  Georgian Bay Tourism.  See fall Georgian Bay Photos.
