 |  Carol Wergin | Dear Friends, We have looked forward to this day for nine years! And it has now come and gone. We held the dedication of the Spirit of the Rivers monument on Sunday, September 16th at 2:00. It was a glorious day with beautiful weather and hundreds of happy observers. |
We'd like to thank the hundreds of people who made this special day happen. Those who donated their time, talent or financial resources in one way or another - all are greatly appreciated. We honor you!
Please enjoy this video of the dedication ceremony. Note that we did not record Earl Meshigaud, Cultural Director of the Hannahville Potowatomi performing the blessing of the monument, as he requested. Those of us who were there to witness the blessing done in his native tongue and translation found it very moving.
Enjoy!
