We dedicate this book to our Ancestors, on whose

ashes we walk this Sacred Life.

We dedicate this book to our children

yesterday, today and tomorrow.

And we dedicate this book to Creator

whose Everpresence, Guidance, Grace and Love

keep us strong and resilient.

We acknowledge the help of Bob Rice from Nigwakwe Learning Press who is our publisher,
Stuart Reid, The North Grey Union Public Library, Francesca Dobbyn, The City of Owen Sound, and Mayor Ruth Lovell-Stanners for their support.

And most humbly we acknowledge, Creator.
