To the Editor:

The Museum of Ojibwa Culture is quite the place to visit, if you ask me and my granddaughter! So many things happened there. From blessing and Indians to the wonderful and exciting experience of old pirate tales and myths. Tony [Grondin], the Indian elder, smudged a healing pocket spirit for my daughter. She had a brain tumor a while back that the doctors removed... and she still has seizures, and is struggling quite a bit. We're very worried. But with Shirley [Sorrels]' help we found out about the pocket spirits, which were smudged by Tony in a ceremony. Robin Kissinger was so helpful to us. He had the most uplifting spirit. When you step into that museum, it feels as though nothing could go wrong. After the ceremony, the group went on a journey to the past. Orion Couling, the wonderful and hilarious tour guide, told many pirate stories, all of which actually happened on the Great Lakes.

This whole experience changed our lives. We really enjoyed this whole experience. And we'll definitely be back. We encourage everyone to go. Take your kids, too. It's fun and educational for all ages. Sharon Pemberton and Mandy Hunnaman Colon
