Standing Rock Cultural Arts is proud to present an afternoon with George and
John Brown, they are Ojibway elders from the Three Rivers Band of the Seul
Lac Nation in Ontario. These Native American elders will speak on healing,
their history, sweat lodges, naming ceremonies and many other subjects that
all will find interesting. There will also be a question and answer session
at the end of their talk.

George and John Brown are Ojibway elders from the Three Rivers Band of the
Seul Lac Nation in Ontario.  They are Golden Eagle Clan which is the clan
that works most closely with the Spirits.  From this clan the spiritual
Leaders of the community were born.

They are brothers who were raised in the bush in Ontario.  Their education
came from their father, mother and elders.  They lived a life of hunting,
trapping, fishing and gathering.  Their days were spent paying attention to
the seasons and what had to be taken care of in each moment in order to
survive.  The trees, plants stones provided medicines for them when they
were sick.

Living close to nature they developed a respect for and a
relationship with all living things, which is the traditional way.  The
medicines they share with us are medicines for the Spirit, and these
medicines come in many forms.  Songs, teachings, jokes, sweat lodge, Pow
Wow, their drums and their presence in our lives all bring healing to tired
bodies and Spirits.

Being with elders who know who they are, where they came from and where they
are going gives us a rare opportunity to experience a life well lived.
Spending time with and learning of a lifestyle so different than ours
provides us the opportunity to expand the way that we view life's
possibilities.
