7 Grandfather Teachings

This presentation focuses on understanding the 7 Grandfather Teachings that guide us all in how to live a healthy and balanced lifestyle with ourselves, each other, and the land. We look at these words in Anishinaabemowin, and break them down into English for a better understanding of what these teachings mean, and how we can best use them. This session is about an hour, to 1.5 hours depending on interest level and questions.

Land Acknowledgements

This is a five-session series, designed to help participants examine their personal land connection through the lens of Michi Saagiig Anishinaabe land connection. In order to create a land acknowledgement that does more than check a box, this series walks us through the pre-contact and contact history of First Nations people, and creates a strong understanding of land connection. Each session is 1.5 hours, including questions.

This session is about 1.5 hours, depending on interest level and questions.
