Rainbow Serpent Country

The Carp Ontario Land Council undertakes massive efforts to care for country. This understanding of caring for country arose from eons of residing on our traditional lands and it comes within the septance that life goes on, but Aboriginal law does not change. All of the Lorne Hill Gorge area in one year is collectively referred to as Mumbelina or Rainbow Serpent Country. Some of the ancestral beans such as Rainbow Serpent's are depicted on rock walls in paintings left by our ancestors. We know that some of the most important elders of Wanyi in our memory have said that these paintings were made by our people so that the stories would continually be told and never forgotten.
