A partnership between the Aron Indigenous Circle, Sophia Hilton Foundation, and Trent Hills Public Library brings five evenings of Indigenous story telling to Trent Hills.
The Seven Grandparent Teachers are principles for how Anishinaabeg can live Mino-Biimadiziwin (“the good life”). Mino-Biimadiziwin is a philosophy that links Anishinaabe from their origins, the past, present and even the future, connecting us through time to our ancestors and coming generations.
This evening will increase our understanding of how stories of the land and sky shape the endurance of Anishinaabeg life in contemporary Canada.
Presenters:
Dr. Vanessa Watts is Mohawk and Anishinaabe (Bear Clan). She is an associate professor of Indigenous Studies and Sociology at McMaster University, and holds the Paul R. MacPherson Chair in Indigenous Studies.
Hayden King is Anishinaabe from Beausoleil First Nation. He is the executive director of Yellowhead Institute and an Associate Professor at Toronto Metropolitan University.
