Akisqnuk National Aboriginal Day Festival

Today the Akisqnuk Nation held their annual festival at Lakeshore Camp Ground, just south of Windermere.


There was a whole day of events planned, music, dancing, speeches, etc, just a pity we couldn't stay longer to catch them all!

One of the coolest things of the day, though, was running into Robert Ede of the Under Swansea blog. It was a bit strange ... out of nowhere he introduced himself to me ... knowing exactly who I was ... because of the camera gear I was carrying! How cool is that?! It was great to meet you, Robert!

Unfortunately, the weather was a bit dismal today, so all the activities were held under a tent. Nice if you want to keep out of the spit-spotting rain, not so great if you want to take great pictures!

Here are a few of the photo's I took ... nothing to write home about quality-wise, but I hope you enjoy the content, nevertheless!
