David Sanipass - Lone Bear - has been making and playing flute for 20 years or more. The Mi’kmaq Nation is more than 20,000 years old; they have been called Micmac for the last 300 years. These stories/songs not only give us insights into the history of a people, but they teach us through the voices of our ancestors how life should be lived and celebrated.
