Kim Senklip - Thought # 9 - Anishinaabe Territory

Ottawa..is derived originally uhh from an Anishinaabe word which means to trade...because of the many and beautiful rivers they have in this territory...they established very sophisticated uhh trade routes, between Nations and for themselves and when I look at these rivers...I am reminded of the journeys, the water holds those memories, I ah- it's really making me remember. Someone once told me that water is our oldest history book, it holds all of our stories and umm I feel really fortunate to be able to spend some time on the Anishinaabe territory. Sechanalyagh for having me.
