The To Honour and Respect exhibit of 13 quilled birchbark makakoon, made in 1860 at Hiawatha First Nation as gifts for the Prince of Wales, will close on 19 November. Please come to the Peterborough Museum & Archives and visit the makakoon while they are here! As decided by the six Mississauga Nation Chiefs, the makakoon will be returning to Royal Collection Trust after the loan to continue their diplomatic work honouring the centuries-long relationship between Nishnaabeg people and the Crown.
As a project legacy, we are creating a website which will be up shortly. GRASAC is kindly hosting a link page and the THR Educational Resources which have been created by Chadwick Cowie (Hiawatha), Jonathan Taylor (Curve Lake), and Lori Beavis (Hiawatha), project co-curator. More soon!
