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.
