Saugeen First Nation On The Shores of Beautiful Lake Huron
Traditional Feast & Story Telling
Join us for an evening of good food and entertaining story telling.
Your meal will start with fresh Whitefish, lightly seasoned & cooked to perfection over an open fire in front of you. Plated with white potatoes, sauteed with wild leeks, accompanied by juicy sweet corn, and oven baked Indian bread (bannock). Dessert is a medley of fresh, in season fruit, topped with whipped cream. Your beverage is freshly brewed traditional cedar tea, delicately flavored with wild ginger syrup. After the feast, everyone is to gather around the stage area in the small amphitheater to be regaled with stories & legends from renowned story teller, Priscilla Yellowhead Tobey. Everyone who attends the feast & story telling will receive a small token from Priscilla.
