Kinoomaage Waapkong, The Teaching Rocks (Petroglyphs)

Kinoomaage Waapkong, or the Teaching Rocks, is an ancient and sacred teaching site for our people. Dating back several thousand years, the Teaching Rocks remains an active spiritual and ceremonial site for Anishinaabeg and other Indigenous peoples. It has been recognized as a place of learning, healing, and connection, and has been protected from one generation of Anishinaabeg to the next since time immemorial. This site is recognized nationally and internationally as a source of cultural knowledge, connection, and guidance through Anishinaabe spirituality and ways of knowing. When you visit Kinoomaage Waapkong, please do so with respect, an open mind, and an open heart. Upon arrival, you will be greeted by a Curve Lake First Nation staff member who will be able to answer questions and provide insight into some of the deeply sacred teachings held at the Teaching Rocks.
