First Nations Storytellers

07/30/2025

I don’t pray often. But after a weekend in Metepenagiag and being honored to help out I gave it a shot. I asked the creator for the right words to come to me, words powerful to do something good for the world. In the back of my head I had my book in my mind. When I was wading through the grass, as normal, I can’t find sweetgrass. Then like a veil it was everywhere. The sun was perfect in the sky and the sweetgrass showed itself. The sweet grass taught me that to find what you want you need to be in the right light. Keep light in your life and eschew darkness . There are things and people that deal in darkness and bad medicine that keep you from your dreams. I’m leaving this marsh with a medicine greater than what I came for. Thank you for the lesson Mother Earth.

Bonfires are just one of those things that bring people together. You can't help but get cosy and find some common ground. That's what makes this one of our favourite things to do 🔥

We are out on the Harbour Passage, taking in these stunning views, 5 days a week all summer long. What a gorgeous "office". 🥰

This week's sunset kayak started out a bit windy, but turned into such a gorgeous, calm evening. 🌅The stars aligned for another fantastic excursion with Go Fundy Events 🧡

Long hair update🪶

Dave has been growing his hair out since he founded First Nations Storytellers in 2022. Three years later, it is a tangible representation of how far he's come as a storyteller and an advocate within the community. What a transformation!✨

Thoughts from Dave: Three Years Later

June 1st was the three year anniversary of me stepping out into the light and my first group of people. Walking away from that group that day, I knew I was meant to do something bigger. I had a great group of people around me making it possible for me to do the work I do today. They had seen in me something I never saw. To those people, to those who have come out with me, and to those still walking this path to keep me humble and walking the earth in a good way, I want to say Wela’lioq (thank you everyone). We are always looking for others who want to lend their voice to our mission.
