What does it mean to re-mind ourselves and the learners in our care? About who they are, and about their connection to the Land and each other? How can the Haudenosaunee Thanksgiving Address be a powerful source of that re-minder?

Join Suzie Miller, Mohawk Educator with the Grand Erie School Board, to explore re-minding, the Thanksgiving Address, Wampum teachings and Land Acknowledgements. Come away with practical ideas for offering daily gratitude practices and creating personal land acknowledgements in your setting.

We love this land where we play and learn: the sun that warms us, the trees that give us shade, beauty and places to climb. The plants that give us food. The creatures who teach us about how to live in a good way. Thank you to the bugs and turtles, the great blue herons and the tadpoles. To the fairy shrimp, the tree swallows, the pond snails, the newts. To the Jack-in-the-pulpits, the trout lilies, the goldenrod, the asters - all of you are so beautiful and teach us so much. To the water, which is life - the ponds, creeks and the Grand River watershed.
We are honoured to walk, learn, and play on the traditional territories of the Haudenosaunee, Anishinaabe, and Chonnonton Nations, treaty lands of the Haudenosaunee. Grateful for the ongoing care, stewardship, and teachings from Indigenous Peoples that help us walk gently on this earth. We are committed to the ongoing process of decolonization through partnering with local Indigenous educators in our facilitation, learning about the past and about good ways forward together, and respecting the land as our First Teacher.
