Anishinabe Healing Center Horse Ranch for First Nations Youth,
Whiteshell, Manitoba, Canada, 2000

The ancient First Nations spiritual petroforms of Whiteshell Provicial Park, Manitoba, Canada.

The horse is a potent medicine for many First Nations people of Canada.

This project for youth-at-risk, which combines the medicine from caring and raising horses with traditional medicine-healing, is located in the Manitoba forest, near the ancient sacred petroform sites in the Whiteshell vicinity.

The program calls for a Group Lodge with separately adjoining Girls and Boys Lodges, Medicine Person's Home, Horse Stables, and Sweat Lodges.

Passive solar and energy conserving technologies are integrated into designs for all of the structures. The central lodges are sod covered. All entrance doors face East.
