We are creating an amazing educational resource in the form of an online museum to help students learn the rich stories and history of the First Peoples of this Michi Saagiig territory.

When you take a few minutes to let us know what would capture your interest (and what wouldn't), you'll be entered into a draw to win prizes (shown below) and even better, you will help us build an extraordinary historical resource for the Kawarthas.
