Joy and I spent two fantastic days covering an Elder's gathering on Animiki wadjiw (Mount McKay) in Thunder Bay. The gathering brought together Elders from across Ontario to discuss ways of conserving energy and preserving the Earth.
First Nations Elders who follow both Christian and traditional teachings and Métis Elders shared and made recommendations to Ontario First Nation leaders and delegates on what needs to be done to help preserve Mother Earth.
The two-day discussion took place in a traditional lodge and included sweat lodges, a shaking tent ceremony and gospel jamboree. The event was truly inspiring.
