Embracing the Vibrant Spirit of Culture with Frien

Embracing the Vibrant Spirit of Culture with Friends 🌺🌿💫

It was a beautiful day to be out on the land in Roseau River Anishinabe First Nation for the 2023 Gathering of Friends Interschool Pow Wow!

With the passing of wisdom to young ones learning their traditional dances, to drum groups singing together in a harmonious way, the sense of community and belonging was truly felt as laughter and smiles filled the air. Each moment was a reminder of our resilience in remembering traditions and the importance of passing them on to future generations.

We extend our heartfelt gratitude to the Roseau River Anishinabe First Nation and @mfnerc for hosting such a spectacular event. Their dedication and commitment to preserving our cultural heritage is truly inspiring.

Chii-miigwech!!!

56 bags... 🗑 That's how many bags of trash Tre

56 bags... 🗑

That's how many bags of trash Treaty One staff gathered today while cleaning up the Naawi-Oodena Joint Reserve lands in Winnipeg. This is in addition to a handful of car parts, bicycle parts, beer cans, and other questionable items, with sections of the fencing around certain areas cut open.

One thing we can assure is that this sacred land will be treated with the care and respect it deserves when development begins and continues to grow. As the traditonal stewards of our Treaty No. 1 Territory, the sheer amount of waste left by visitors of this site—which has been left abandoned for 20 years—is just not acceptable.

It is our mandate to never let it reach that state again, for as long as the sun shines, the grass grows, and the rivers flow. This is OUR land, OUR duty to treat our Mother Earth with love—and this is only the beginning for Naawi-Oodena.

Shout outs to all the staff who put their sweat hours in under the hot, humid weather today... miiigwech!

In honour of National Day of Awareness for Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women and Girls, Treaty One staff offer our hearts and prayers to raise awareness for all of our Relatives impacted by MMIWG.

Also known as RED Dress Day or Wear Red Day, wearing red on this day serves as a reminder of the ongoing violence that Indigenous women, girls, and two spirited peoples face in our society.

PREPARING FOR THE DAYS TO COME THROUGH CEREMONY 🪶

This afternoon Treaty One staff and Cultural Advisor Frank Beaulieu took the Treaty One Eagle Staff, as well as the medicine bundle for the upcoming Treaties 1-11 Gathering to the Three Wyndi's Healing Sweat Lodge in Brokenhead Ojibway Nation. Elder Sheldon Cote blessed the Eagle Staff for its upcoming journey on the Pow Wow trail and blessed the medicine bundle to prepare it to greet the people from across all Treaty First Nations this summer.

Through ceremony, Elder Cote gave direction to Treaty One Eagle Staff carrier Frank Beaulieu on how to prepare the bundle for the upcoming gathering while sharing these teachings with all staff in attendance. To close the ceremony and cleansing that was rendered, a feast was shared with our ancestors.

We thank Three Wyndi's Healing Lodge for the valuable teachings and for preparing our team for what's to come this summer. Chii-miigwech! 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼

“We’ve lost at least 16 people, from our commu

“We’ve lost at least 16 people, from our community alone, on the Hwy 59 on the stretch between Brokenhead and Selkirk,” said Elder Carl Stone of Brokenhead Ojibway Nation in a press conference this afternoon called by Chief Gordon BlueSky to address the tragic hit-and-run which took place last Thursday on MB Provincial Highway 59.

Through a Band Council Resolution, the Nation repeats decades-long calls for the Manitoba Government to address this reoccurring issue with increased safety measures, similar to how any municipalities would typically approach a similar situation. Chief BlueSky calls on the province to reduce speed limits on Hwy 59 from “the ridiculous, current 80 KM, down to 50 KM through the 2 KM stretch that comes through our community.” BlueSky also wants to see—with support through tri-lateral agreements involving the provincial and federal governments—safe-crossings for pedestrians, with appropriate shoulders, and illumination through that same 2 KM stretch of highway.

Chief BlueSky’s calls are also supported by the Mayor of St. Clements and other Chiefs who have indicated their support with intentions to pass similar resolutions.
