Welcome November, A time of reflection as we transition from fall to winter. The days are getting colder and I have been making more soups and stews. It is back to my crocheting, knitting and sewing. 

What does November look like for me so far. Lots to do.

November 08th is National Indigenous Veterans Day. I will be attending the memorial event here in Peace River, Alberta. 
​November 11th is National Veteran's Day. Please consider attending a memorial event and wearing a poppy to honor our veterans.

I honour both days as my late father was in the army and volunteered to serve this country and protect the land. He was buried in his Legion blazer as was his wish.

November 6th is a Ribbon Skirt Sewing Bee. I have volunteering to help our Peace River Aboriginal Interagency Committee (PRAIC) learn how to sew a basic Ribbon Skirt. I look forward to seeing them at our events throughout the year.

November 15th is our regular PRAIC (Peace River Aboriginal Interagency Committee) meeting. I am grateful to be a part of a group that brings forward Indigenous issues and events to the community and surrounding area. 
Some of the great events we host is the May MMIWG walk and gathering, Sept 30 TRC/Orange Shirt Day Walk and Gathering, October 05 Sisters in Spirit Walk and Gathering. There is also an Annual Peace River Pow wow usually in June, this year will be a traditional event so I will be making my regalia so I can dance in 2023. 
​
November Workshops:
The Centre for Suicide Prevention has in-person and virtual workshops that I facilitate regularly.
This month I have a:
Little Cub: Talking about suicide for Indigenous children under 12,

I have some days available for other presentations if needed. As you may know, November is Family Violence Prevention Month. Nov 19 is International Suicide Loss Day. I encourage you to reach out to survivors you know to extend support and acknowledge this difficult day.

Ay Hiy, Kinanaskomitin. Thank you.

On October 20th, 2022 Thursday, Northern Sunrise County is sponsoring a "River of Life" Workshop. If you work with Indigenous Youth over 12, this workshop would be helpful to you. This workshop is going to be held at the Mamowintowin Metis Hall in Cadotte Lake, AB.
The workshop reviews not just the historical and intergenerational impact of trauma but how to look for protective and risk factors in a youth and develop a safety plan with them.
We are so fortunate that this workshop is free because it is being sponsored.
Please consider registering,

Hi my peeps!

I was checking out the Northern Lakes College website and found this great tool on their website.

​I encourage you to check out the link and give the quiz a try.
See how many plants you can identify and learn the Cree words for them.

Thanks!

Winter Solstice

12/21/2021

0 Comments

 


Today is the shortest day of the year and the longest night, after today, the days will start to become longer and signify the return of the sun.

The teachings I have received has been to honor this day, to host a feast and a fire. To feed the ancestors and to pray in ceremony. WInter becomes a time of rest and introspection.

Take time to pray for others who may be hurt and struggling,  show empathy, compassion and kindness to others.

I wish you Happy Solstice, a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year.
​
I will be posting regularly in the new year...welcome 2022.
