Part three of our three part series on Aboriginal Tourism in Canada, showcases Loren Christie experiencing the Great Spirit Circle Trail.

Eight First Nation communities, all part of the larger Anishnaabe nation, inhabit Manitoulin Island and the Sagamok region, which extends onto the mainland to the north. Together they make up the Great Spirit Circle Trail, which is not really a trail but rather a collection of attractions and activities offered to visitors eager to learn about the culture of our First Nations people.

My Great Spirit experience started with a traditional smudging ceremony (which we did not film out of respect for the ceremony) to bless our day by local Ojibwe guide, Steven Antoine. According to Steven, it’s important to have a local guide involved so you are truly getting an authentic experience by people who live what they teach.
