Moccasin Talk and the Moccasin Identifier (DROP IN)
June 20, 2022 @ 6:30 pm - 8:00 pm
Willow Shawanoo, Turtle Clan, from the Niagara Regional Native Centre will lead a circle talk to discuss the significance of moccasins to First Nations, including the Haudenosaunee and Anishinaabeg, and reflect on her personal relationship to moccasins as an Anishinaabe woman. The circle will open with a smudging ceremony and be followed by an opportunity to ask questions and for community members to stencil a moccasin as part of the Moccasin Identifier Project. All ages and abilities are welcome. The Moccasin Identifier Project has been developed by Carolyn King in partnership with the Mississaugas of the Credit First Nation and the Greenbelt Foundation, to promote public awareness of significant cultural historic sites and the ancestral presence of First Nations, Metis, and Indigenous Communities.
