Smudging Ceremony with George Paul, Indigenous Artist and Cultural Ambassador of the Mi’kmaq Nation

Tuesday, September 28, 2021

What an honour for the Sistema NB team to learn from the stories and culture of our friend, George Paul, Indigenous Artist and Cultural Ambassador of the Mi’kmaq Nation.  As we approach the National Day for Truth and Reconciliation in Canada, we are pleased to share this ‘masterclass’ on the smudging ceremony.  (Shared with George Paul’s permission).
