FORT WILLIAM — Fort William’s Culture and Recreation department recently held a Traditional Bow Making workshop by John Belanger on Sept. 4-5 at the Fort William First Nation Community Centre’s Cultural Room.
“Not much people know about it here so I thought it was a good idea to bring [Belanger] out and show these folks how to make their bows,” says Jeremiah Charlie, cultural coordinator at Fort William. “They’re all enjoying themselves, they all like it. I brought them some arrows so they can go and try it out after.”
Charlie says he plans to bring Belanger back again for another workshop.
