David plays his flutes during his events. Proceeds will go to support David Lonebear Sanipass to begin the "White Bear Project." The White Bear Project seeks to record David Lonebear painting images of the ancient Mi'kmaq Story of the White Bear alongside him telling the story. The story tells how the Mi’kmaq and their teachings came here. The project will expand knowledge and shine light on a history currently untold. A documentary film and prints of David’s painting will be made available. This story is in the Mi’kmaq prophecies, one that can be shared now to all people around the world.
