Algonquin Book Project
This project is a collection of traditional knowledge, passed on, created for educational and mindfulness purposes. From aspiring Indigenous writers, youth to Elder, with ties to the Algonquin Territory and Region. This is an artistic project of short stories, poems, songs, teachings, prayers and even recipes! The written bodies are weaved with cultural knowledge, native plant medicines/ uses and traditional ways of doing. If you're a writer and want to see one of your pieces added as part of this collection, or if you know someone... Please reach out and email apaintedloon@gmail.com. Miigwetch!!
Medicine life
Head-feather people
Protect my grandchildren
Pink thunder of the skies
Bring me gifts of tobacco in a medicine bundle
Supply me with the earth's offerings
Holy boy
Sing me into recovery
And bring rain
To my eyes
Arrows through my veins
So I can know anger (forgiveness)
And smile
At my brother.
