Ancient tradition among aboriginal people
teaches that North America was created on the back of a turtle.
At Sagkeeng, Manitoba, Canada, they have constructed a
lodge in the shape of a turtle near a sacred site considered to
be the heart of Turtle Island (North America). Turtle
Lodge is intended as an environment where children can receive
the support and mentor-ship of spiritual people "...
a place where we can truly love them, nurture them and honour
their distinctiveness. We rely on the wisdom of the Elders of
all peoples to help guide our children to the truth."

Walking with the Ancestors, Feeling the
Energy of the Land, Finding Balance
“Our land, our spirituality and our
life are one.”
A team of relay runners carry the flame from
Pic Mobert First Nation, Ontario,
north towards Thunder Bay, then across
northern Lake Superior to Selkirk, Manitoba,
where they receive the honor of
lighting the sacred fire of the Sundance.
Along the way, they ask other youth aged 18
and over to join their healing journey.
