Film Location & Water Sound Excerpts: Lake Opeongo, Algonquin Provincial Park, Ontario, Canada

Special thank you and acknowledgement to the Algonquins of Ontario.

The Algonquins of Ontario (AOO) are on a journey of survival, rebuilding and self-sufficiency – a journey of reconciliation. This journey began nearly 250 years ago when the first Algonquin Petition was submitted to the Crown in 1772.
Algonquins have lived in present-day Ontario for thousands of years before Europeans arrived. Today, the AOO are comprised of ten Algonquin communities. These include:

• Antoine
• Algonquins of Pikwakanagan First Nation
• Bonnechere
• Greater Golden Lake
• Kijicho Manito Madaouskarini (Bancroft)
• Mattawa/North Bay
• Ottawa
• Shabot Obaadjiwan (Sharbot Lake)
• Snimikobi (Ardoch)
• Whitney and Area

The AOO have Aboriginal rights and title that have never been extinguished and have continuing ownership of the Ontario portions of the Ottawa and Mattawa River watersheds and their natural resources. This includes Algonquin Provincial Park, Lake Opeongo where this video art was filmed (and sound art recorded).

lyrics

Poem written on November 4, 2017

Coniferous –
Can I dance to transmit electrical webs ?

Stinger flicking forward and back and above

Waving clasped hands folded tight to a
Minute when they can drip open
into waving swords

If the circle
in the sky is perfectly mounted
into the centre of

Transit

can I shoot pentacles tentacle daggers
as I stand below
Surrounded by frankinscent smoke

How I layer my smooth milky moon
fat bum breasted chest
belly thighs
with the softest draped black layers

a hardened gaze

thickened tuft above perfectly penciled lips

adorned with gold embellished body jewels – onyx finger and toe nails, rounded to pluck the sounds of airbourne strings and to dig deep into sanded shores

When she holds my hands beneath the autumn sky
My eyes squeezed shut radiating bright orange light
In the mossy dampness

Will she feel her honest love
That waits for her to grow into
her passion and her anger
