Song inspired by WWII letter honours experiences of Garden River's code talkers

The letter George Minisino Pine sent home from France during the Second World War didn’t reveal much about his experience on the warfront.Addressed to his sister Hilda, he shared simple thoughts on the weather and asked after the family dog in Garden River First Nation.More than 80 years later, that silence became the foundation of a song.In March, Joel Syrette of Batchewana First Nation and Peter White of Sault Ste. Marie released Ogichidaa, which translates to Warrior. Written, recorded
