News from the homeland was bad. The Canadian Government had announced a “free election,” which would in effect determine whether or not the Six Nations Government of Grand River Land should be dissolved. For this vote, the Canadian Government agent had taken possession of the Six Nat...

Yes, I’m going to delve a little into my personal hi...

The former Sir John A. Macdonald Parkway is now named Kichi Zībī Mīkan (pronounced MEE-kan), meaning “Great River Road” in the Algonquin language.

In June 2023, the National Capital Commission (NCC) Board of Directors approved the new Algonquin name for the parkway. A fall event is being planned to unveil the new signage and celebrate this change. Meaning of Kic...
