Mackinac Bands Community Gathering

May 10, 2010 @ 08:53 PM








The sudden change to winter weather did not stop the crowds from attending the Mackinac Bands Anishinabe community gathering at the Inverness Hall in Cheboygan Saturday. After the prayers and special blessing ceremony an Indian taco meal and dessert bar was prepared for those in attendance. A community auction was held with donated items from businesses in the Northern area to raise funds for the tribal efforts to gain Federal recognition to enable continuing support for its many members. A special area was set up by the band's enrollment director to help those with genealogy information, enrollment and historical tribal information.
