    Hemlock Trees in Canada

    Hemlock (Tsuga) is a genus of evergreen trees in the Pinaceae family native to North America and central and eastern Asia. At least 10 species of hemlock exist in the world, with only three growing in Canada: the eastern hemlock, western hemlock and mountain hemlock. These trees are often referred to as foundation species, meaning they play a vital role in creating and maintaining the ecosystem in which they reside. For hemlocks, their roles as a food source and habitat for wildlife, as well as their temperature-regulating qualities, make them incredibly valuable.

    Heron

    The heron (Ardeidae) family of birds comprises 60 species worldwide, 12 in Canada (including true herons, egrets, night herons and bitterns). Most herons are long-legged, long-necked wading birds which look for food (tiny fish, crustaceans, insects, amphibians and reptiles) in shallow fresh or salt water. They have long, rounded, rather broad wings and relatively short tails. They are distinguished from cranes by their position in flight, necks bent and heads supported between their shoulders. All have straight, rather long bills that distinguish them from ibises, which are similar in appearance but have long, curved bills.

    Hiawatha Play

    In 1900, the first performance of the Hiawatha Play was undertaken at Kensington Point in Desbarats, Ontario by members of Garden River First Nation. The play was developed by the Canadian Pacific Railway’s colonization agent Louis Olivier Armstrong and Anishinaabe leader George Kaboosa. The Hiawatha Play was performed seasonally in Desbarats from 1900 to 1905. It was relocated to Wayagamug, Michigan, where it was performed from 1905 to 1917 by Anishinaabe, Haudenosaunee and Odawa actors. It also toured, taking the performers to various locales in Canada, the United States, Great Britain and the Netherlands. Performances of the original play by Garden River actors occurred periodically in Sault Ste Marie and at Garden River until at least 1966. Contemporary interpretations of the Hiawatha Play were performed in 2006, 2007 and 2008 at Garden River.
