Episode 19: Migiziwazison

tak­en from the Sacred Fire — Bring Our Chil­dren Home face­book page:

Migizi­wazi­son are claim­ing the leg­isla­tive grounds on the east side fac­ing Kennedy, and host­ing a sacred fire for our lost Chil­dren. The Sacred Fire will remain lit until all res­i­den­tial school grounds are searched and our chil­dren are found. The news release about the 751 unmarked graves in Cowessess First Nation sent a new waves of trig­gers and grief in our com­mu­ni­ties. Our pur­pose with this fire is to cre­ate and assert an heal­ing space for our elders, fam­i­lies and com­mu­ni­ty to come togeth­er, sup­port each oth­er , share teach­ing and engage in cer­e­monies, and get involved in main­tain­ing and grow­ing our heal­ing space. Cul­tur­al Pro­to­col are to be fol­lowed please be mind­ful and if you are unsure ask an elders or an orga­niz­ers. We wel­come every­one to come out to share your sto­ries, songs, drums, tra­di­tion­al regalia and to come togeth­er in uni­ty and embrace our cul­tures, lan­guages and cer­e­monies. Uplift Anishi­naabe Aki in our prac­tices and stay ground­ed in the asser­tion of the sev­en sacred teach­ing of Love, humil­i­ty, Truth, Respect, Hon­esty, Courage and Wisdom.
