Zig Misiak:   Detroit to Niagara: Natives in the War of 1812

An authority on First/Native Nations history and culture specifically Haudenosaunee (Six Nations/Iroquois), Zig Misiak’s mission is to write and produce books that enlighten teachers, students and the general public around First/Native Nations and the War of 1812. Zig is very clear stating that he speaks about but not for the First/Native Nations. His years of accumulated knowledge about the Haudenosaunee is respectfully referred to. His new book is called War of 1812: Highlighting Native Nations.

John Warburton U.E. on the War of 1812 and the Capture of York

Relive the spine chilling events as the city of Toronto is under siege from an American force in the harbour. A naval flotilla has landed on the lake shore to the west, defeated the defending British force and captured the fort, town and dockyard. As they made their strategic retreat, the British have blown up the fort’s magazine. Now, the American forces are looting and the Parliament buildings are in flames. Come, feel the heat! A man of trademark enthusiasm, John’s presentation is as entertaining as it is informative with much audience participation.

The goal of the Holiday Train is
to collect food and money for local food banks and to raise awareness in the fight against hunger. At each event, the Holiday Train provides a box car stage, a line up of great musical talents and a corporate contribution to the local food bank. The community, in turn, is encouraged to donate food and funds, all of which stays in the community.
