Celebrate Fall with us at our new location in Renfrew and discover Nenaawateg!

Don’t forget to bring your bundles for feasting.  Here’s what to expect:

  • Smudge all Participants & Bundles (bring yours)
  • Opening Prayer / Welcoming Song
  • Tobacco distribution/collection; Pipe Ceremony
  • Water Ceremony:  Prayer, Blessing, distribution
  • Strawberry Teaching ~ Ceremony
  • Teaching on the Season
  • Sharing Circle
  • Feast* – smudged, Spirit Plate, eaten, Miigwetch song
  • Closing Prayer / Travelling Song

*All participants are encouraged to contribute to pot-luck & to bring their feast kit. Women, please remember to honour Mother Earth by wearing a long skirt.

*Please note: our Feasts are how we honour the Spirits of our Ancestors and our Bundles (the tools we work with), rather than the all-you-can-eat buffet of Western Society.  Our teachings tell us to include meat/fish from our lands, berries, corn, and wild rice — the food that grows on water that sustained our people on the migration from the East.  So bring as much food as you can eat: we’ll all share, and hopefully, we will be able to eat it all; whatever remains must be given to the land.
