Catt - regarding an aboriginal history day. There is nothing planned at the Penetanguishene Centennial Museum however, for future reference here are some events you may find of interest. June 21 has been designated as Aboriginal Day (an annual designation, not just a "one year" event) - this encompasses First Nations, Metis and Inuit. Many sites celebrate that weekend, including, here in Midland Sainte-Marie Among the Hurons. The weekend before the 21st and the day itself are usually full of many displays, drumming, music etc. In addition, in early August (usually the first Saturday) at Discovery Harbour in Penetanguishene, Metis days are celebrated and this too features displays, artisans, fur trade exhibits, music and much more. Google Huronia Historical Parks and the links to both of these sites will pop up. Now - I'm not done yet! There is an annual powwow in Midland hosted by the Georgian Bay Native Friendship Center. This year it will be held on September 11 and 12 at Sainte Marie Park on Hwy 12 ( NOT at Fort Ste. Marie, but across the highway, on the west side of the Wye River adjacent to the Martyr's Shrine). And finally - on September 18th the annual Georgian Bay Metis Rendezvous will be held - this year in Port Severn - and it too is very informative and entertaining. Hope you find something of interest. Deborah
