Aanii N'diz-ni-kaaz Niizho-Nimkii Kwe!(Hello, my name is Two-Thunder
Woman!) My Birth name is Sally Ramey. I'm Ojibwe Bear Clan, born and
raised in Northern Michigan, and a Grand Traverse Band of Ottawa and
Chippewa Indians Tribal Member.
My family name is Kenwabikise and my mother was born and raised on
Beaver Island. In January 2024, she entered the Ancestral Realm. I really try
my hardest to make her proud by passing on my craft through community
events and sharing my knowledge as much as possible!
I'm not only an artist, I'm also a Nokomis (grandmother), wife, mother,
daughter, sister and newer small business owner in Benzie County, MI. I am

also ordained and now carry the name, "Shaman". Or as our peoples say,
"Pipe Carrier". I officiate Ojibwe Style wedding ceremonies for Native and
Non-Natives. This has made me feel whole again, in ways I never knew
possible, and I feel closer to my mother and the Creator when officiating
these ceremonial traditions!
My husband, Dean & I officially started Two-Thunder Gardens in 2022. We
have two greenhouses and a Three Sisters Garden. I also create Authentic
Ojibwe Artwork, Homemade Zucchini Breads (recently adding a dedicated
gluten-free choice), handcrafted soaps and other bath and body products
using pure plant based essential oils.
Please feel free to contact us with any questions or custom art orders, I'm
ALWAYS happy to talk about Ojibwe Culture! We don't have a website, but
typically take orders through my social media accounts, email or at
markets...

Is there any way these two programs can be Zoomed to those of us that are not on the island during March?

Zooming would be a great idea! We would love to see this presentation as well!
