Medicine Pouch Workshop

Join Nokomis Trish Giizhgondokwe (Cedar Woman) to make your own medicine pouch – a small leather bag worn close the to body.

The medicine pouch carries sacred traditional medicines such as mashkodewashk (sage), giizhik (cedar), wiingashk (sweetgrass), and semaa (tobacco), as well as meaningful personal tokens to provide spiritual protection and strength.

Time: 1 pm

Location: Beach in front of the Cedar Spring Visitor Centre, Beausoleil Island

Nokomis programming takes place at Cedar Springs on Beausoleil Island with no additional cost; however visitors much first reach the island via Landmark transportation, a water taxi service, or personal watercraft.
