A small-group walk led by an Anishinaabe guide through Thunder Bay's waterfront and Mount McKay area, sharing Ojibwe history, land relationship, and the real story behind the Sleeping Giant legend.
What to expect
You'll walk sections of the waterfront and up toward Mount McKay (Animikii-wajiw) with a guide who shares the Anishinaabe perspective on the Sleeping Giant legend, the fur trade era, and contemporary Fort William First Nation life. Conversation is unhurried and personal rather than scripted, often including stops for tea or a local snack. It's a grounding, human counterpoint to the fort and the landscape sightseeing.
Good to know
Book several weeks ahead as availability is limited; confirm meeting point at the waterfront and dress for weather, as much of the walk is outdoors.
