Terracotta half-life Supports the Zaagkii Project

Terracotta half-life at Cedar Tree Institute Midsummer Celebration

For the third year in a row, Terracotta half-life entertained for the Cedar Tree Institute’s Mid Summer Celebration. During the last two years, we had perfect weather for the event.

This year, the sky was gray. Light rain came down most of the day, but it didn’t wither the spirit of celebration. Instead of lamenting their misfortune, the good people of the Cedar Tree Institute and the Zaagkii Project gave thanks for the rain and kept smiling.

The Zaagkii Project is a native plant and pol­li­na­tor pro­tec­tion ini­tia­tive that began in 2008. It’s goal is to help bring about the rec­og­nition that pol­li­na­tion is an essen­tial, critical eco­log­i­cal func­tion for our sur­vival.

Brought to you by the Cedar Tree Insti­tute in col­lab­o­ra­tion with the Keweenaw Bay Indian Com­mu­nity and the United States For­est Ser­vice, this ini­tia­tive makes an inten­tional con­nec­tion between the restora­tion and heal­ing of the earth with the renewal of the human spirit.

Once again, the food was delicious. After eating, the Zaagkii Project youth volunteers shared their experiences with us before demonstrated a Tai Chi form they recently learned. We did a special song to accompany them, and after hearing from several speakers, played the rest of our set.
