Stories past down through the generations from many Nations across Turtle Island
All indigenous peoples on Turtle Island share 40,000 years of descendant habitation. Today, lost traditions are being reclaimed after 300 years of European settler deprivation.
Both sacred and entertaining, drumming in this new age of reconciliation accompanies most public events bringing back ancient sounds of the past in ceremonies and celebration!
The music of our indigenous grandparents gave way to European customs of music and dancing. Today's new age brings in unique new themes like Country and Western celebration!
"“Who are you” is always the most important question that anyone can ask. Who we are as a group is not important, because the idea of just being a name will never build us into anything more than a social club. But who we are as a People is the more important question. OCIP has not had all the same opportunities as much larger Metis groups or even other Indigenous groups. What we lack in opportunities we make up for in unity and devotion". (Rev. James Smith jr.)
