The Anishinaabe are guided by the Seven Grandfather Teachings—Love, Bravery, Humility, Wisdom, Honesty, Respect, and Truth. In Seven Truths, we explore each teaching through the eyes of Anishinaabe storyteller Tanya Talaga, and through the lives and experiences of people she’s proud to know. These truths, told through contemporary stories, help us find common ground here on Turtle Island, so that we can live together, justly.
Welcome to Dennis Franklin Cromarty, one of two First Nations high schools. Every year, the students here demonstrate the teaching of bravery as they put their lives at risk to get a high school education. They leave their families, their communities, and everything they know to travel to the city of Thunder Bay, where not everyone welcomes them. The youth are pursuing their education against the backdrop of a series of unsolved deaths of other Indigenous students.
