 Nancy Allaire : Miigwech to all! Such a powerful message!

THIS WAS REAL. FROM HOME

“This Was Real” shares a collective story of cancer through the lens of Anishinaabe teachings. Facing a struggle with choices and the weight of emotional burdens, one woman comes to terms with an understanding that cancer can be a teacher.

Welcome to those who chose to view our efforts.. With love and respect to all those touched by cancer. 

Miigwech to all the  viewers  of the  online debut for their comments
