First Nations Storytellers

When you choose to do something in life and places like this become your office,and you get to meet so many amazing people, then you know you did something special. All the challenges in life, people or even politics float away like driftwood when you take three days to just sit and this is your view.

Today is Red Dress Day, a day to bring awareness to the disproportionate threat to our Indigenous Women, Girls and 2SLGBTQI+ community. It’s not just any day. These threats of going missing or murdered are real.

This reality hit close to home as a family member of First Nations Storytellers was laid to rest yesterday, a victim of violence that ultimately took her away from everyone.

This is not something that happens elsewhere. This Red Dress day it was brought right to our doorstep.

This is not a promotional post. Our work has always been to do what we can to change the fundamental system in which we live so our people can thrive in safety. It’s not about attending a Red Dress event, it’s about changing perspectives and doing real things in the universe now. It’s about taking care in your words, being gentle in your actions and be a positive in the world.

So we ask you to reflect, not that this is something that exists, but to reflect on what you can do as a person, or organization.

We hope your Red Dress Day 2026 will be the first step towards you finding a way to help ending violence against our people.

It’s Earth Day 2026. In all you do today try and remember we only have one Mother that has taken care of us from the beginning. Take care of her and thus take care of your future. One day you will be another’s ancestors. Be the one they said helped keep our Mother safe.

Happy Earth Day!

My initial rides on my Biktrix Juggernaut Hub Duo e-bike took me out from the north end way out past spruce lake towards Prince of Wales today. What a great way to see the nooks and crannies of the greater Saint John area. Learning to be a responsible biker in traffic definitely has a learning curve to it but once you get the hang of it, it’s good. I spent most of my teenage years running the streets and trails on our mountain bikes. This machine brings back that old feeling of freedom.

We are so excited about our E-bike tour with 2nd Wind Cycle E-Bike Rental & Sales we bought an e-bike! Kerry made the process so simple. Watch for Dave testing it out over the next few weeks!

We are thrilled to announce a new partnership with 2nd Wind Cycle E-Bike Rental & Sales ! 🚲

This summer, First Nations Storytellers and 2nd Wind Cycle are joining forces to bring you something truly special: The River Was the Road- An Indigenous e-bike experience along Saint John's historic waterfront.

Long before this city had a name, the Wabanaki peoples travelled these shores. Rivers were highways. Portage routes were lifelines. Stories carried knowledge across generations.

Join us as we bring those stories back to life, on two wheels.

With the ease of electric-assist bikes, we'll ride along Harbour Passage and the Wolastoq, pausing at significant cultural and historic sites including Fallsview Park and Fort Howe, while sharing Indigenous stories rooted in this place.

📅 Dates: June 13 | July 11 & 25 | August 8 & 22
⏰ Departs 10 am, returns 1 pm
📍 Tin Can Beach, Sydney Street, Saint John
💰 $130 per person + HST | Small groups of 4–8

Say Happy Birthday to our co-founder Gail! Her ability to whip together a grant application or write up business plans is second only to her ability to put up with me. First Nations Storytellers would be nothing without her. A true ally with many talents. Thank you for all the hard work behind the scenes to make sure we can continue doing the work that we do.
