*Please note this is a very special presentation subsidized for Creative Manitoba members.
How do concepts like the Seven Teachings and Mother Earth fit into the Ojibwe Worldview and paradigm? Join Roger and Albert as they explore the Anishinaabe Life Model, a language tool that captures historic meaning and values rooted in the Ojibwe Language. The presentation provides a rare and intimate view of daily life, the beliefs and values that sustained the Ojibwe for thousands of years. Participants will learn about pre-contact philosophies and practices inherent in the Ojibwe language and how they can be applied to contemporary life.
This is a unique opportunity for teachers, program managers, health providers, justice workers, curriculum developers, and artists. This training is consistent with the Truth and Reconciliation Commission of Canada’s 94 Calls to Action, specifically 14.i. Aboriginal languages are a fundamental and valued element of Canadian culture and society, and there is an urgency to preserve them.
