I bought a pair of these lovely moccasins for my dearest mom - handmade by these lovely elders from Nibinamik First Nation in Ontarios Ring of Fire region. My staff and I had the honour to travel to the community today to sign an MOU agreement to launch an innovative partnership between Nibinamik First Nation, Ryerson University, Mamow Ki-ken-da-ma-win (Searching Together Project) and the David Suzuki Foundation in support of environmental education and capacity building programs for youth in the community. What was so inspiring was that our entire day of meetings with community members, as well as the signing ceremony itself, was conducted in the beautiful Oji-Cree language. Chief Johnny Yellowhead kindly translated the community discussion into English so that we could follow along. I am very grateful. #indigenousledconservation #communitydrivenscience #solidarity #joy
