N'ziibiimnaan - Our River [Film] Images
In the Summer of 2016, Chief Duncan Michano of Biigtigong Nishnaabeg ( formerly known as Ojibways of the Pic River First Nation ) realized one of his dreams and led a 10-day canoe trip on the entire 212 kilometre Biigtig Siibii ( Pic River ) to honour his ancestors who were here before him. The Biigtig Siibii has been a paddling route, a highway, and much more for generations of Biigtigong Nishnaabeg.
N’ziibiimnaan means ' Our River ' in Nishnaabemowin. It is Their River.
Chi-Miigwetch to everybody who made the trip possible.
