GUIDANCE

Comme le parc se trouve sur le
territoire algonquin, les organisateurs
s’inspirent des aînés, des conseillers
spirituels, des gardiens du savoir et des
artistes algonquins et algonquines.

Because the park is on
Algonquin land, the organizers
are taking direction from
Algonquin elders, spiritual advisors,
knowledge keepers and artists.
