changing me in more ways than I know the Traditional Ways skills gathering happens on the south shore of Lake Superior on the Bad River Reservation every August for the past 21 years lovingly abbreviated to Trad Ways the regulars call it I do love this gathering the land is the most beautiful place on earth and I’m out in nature using my hands creatively with the kindest people for one full week since 2010 but I missed 2020 due to the pandemic, 2021 due to divorce, and 2024 due to a family commitment this is some but not all of what I was up to there
