Where the Thunder Bird hugs the land in its wings; where Anemki Wajiw – Thunder Mountain – welcomes all; where Nanabijou the Sleeping Giant rests Anemki Wequedong Built on the traditional lands of the Ojibway People of Fort William First Nation and historic Métis settlements, the area was originally known as Anemki Wequedong. Now called Thunder Bay, we are situated within the territory of the Robinson-Superior Treaty of 1850, an agreement between the Crown and Ojibway Chiefs of the north shore of Lake Superior in Canada.
In Anishinaabemowin, the lake is called Gichigami or Kitchigami, which means ‘large body of water,’ ‘big sea,’ or ‘huge water.’ You are welcomed to learn more at fwfn.com.
When visiting this place where the Thunder Bird hugs the land in its wings, where Anemki Wajiw – Thunder Mountain – welcomes all, and where Nanabijou the Sleeping Giant rests, we invite you to tread lightly and with acknowledgement and respect to all our relationships:
Relationships to the Land, to the Water, to the Plants, to our relations, be they four legged, hooved, winged; ones that swim, walk, and crawl; relationships with Mother Earth and our Ancestors.
