We are a grass roots ceremony family that provide healing through song and dance. Our ceremony family consists of many celebration of life powwow dancers who have travelled quite extensively. Song and dance are a part of our identity and educating others in this walk of life brings great joy and peace to everyone involved.

We are vibrant with colours and we bring some very accomplished dancers to the circle. We belong to the Three Fires society of Ojibwe, Odawa and Botawatomie. From our youngest to our oldest, we are proud people, and live what we do and who we are.

We are the Anishnabe Thunderbird Sundance Family.
