Nature area dedicated during ceremony
Canton Township hosted the official naming ceremony of the Zheshkwédokan Nature Area and celebrated National Trails & River Day last week. The ceremony featured a welcome by Canton Supervisor Anne Marie Graham-Hudak,
a brief history of this land and the culture of the Pokagon Band of Potawatomi, provided by culture keeper Madalene Big Bear and Representations Outreach Board Member Julie Dye, and dance performances with drum accompaniment. Members of the Friends of the Rouge were on hand to offer kayaking opportunities, and participants also enjoyed educational and other recreational activities during the afternoon event.
