Have you ever wanted to learn more about Aboriginal Stories or wondered what it would be like to experience an Aboriginal Story first hand? If so, then this Silent Partners seminar on Aboriginal Storytelling is for you! The Conservation Council of Ontario is hosting this seminar on Wednesday July 23rd 2014 from 6:00 – 7:30pm at 215 Spadina Ave, Suite 120.
The Conservation Council of Ontario (CCO) is a non-profit provincial organization, founded in 1952, whose main goal is to promote voluntary conservation initiatives among individuals and corporate businesses alike. The Council is comprised of individuals, municipalities and businesses that both acknowledge and value conservation practices and also actively encourage society to become more environmentally conscious.
It is the CCO’s pleasure to announce that the key note speaker for this event is Maya-waasige (John Keeshig), meaning “The Man from the Up Right Light or Good Light”. He is from Neyaashiingamiing, “Where the land juts out into the water” or more commonly known as Cape Croker, located on the Bruce Peninsula. Maya-waasige is Wolf Clan and his lineage is Ojibwe, Boodawaadomi and Anishnaabe. This lineage is found throughout the Great Lakes Region and The Nawash Band whose traditional territory is the Grey/Bruce area. On his mother’s side he is related to Tescumeh and on his father’s side his bloodflow originates from the territories of the boodawaadomi in Michigan and Wisconsin. Maya-waasige will speak about our relation to G’gashinan, “Mother Earth”, how she provides for us and how we should respect her.
