About
*** This event is now full. We encourage you to join us in the afternoon for a talk with Creators Garden - see link below.
Join Joseph Pitawanakwat and Junaid Kahn of Creators Garden for a guided bird walk in Hungry Hollow. Learn about local birds and the meaning of their names in Anishinaabemowin (Ojibwe language), where the interconnectedness of birds and the natural environment is often reflected. These names are spiritually and culturally significant, offering unique insight into each bird’s characteristics and ecological roles.
Please note: space is now full. Please email [email protected] to join the waitlist or join us at 1pm at the Helson Gallery (9 Church Street) for a talk on the same subject.
