Mino Bimaadiziwin Sign up - Walpole Island

In the 5th session, Friday January 16th from 2-6pm, we will reconnect with the original foundations of Indigenous well-being: sovereignty, family systems, and communal responsibility. We will explore how traditional governance, kinship networks, and collective identity supported balance and healing, and reflect on how rebuilding these foundations today strengthens identity, family, and community wellness.

A reminder of how to walk the path of Mino-Bimaadiziwin (The Good Life)

Location: This session will be held at the Walpole Island Cultural & Community Centre/W.I Sports Complex Arena at 770 Tecumseh Rd. (As soon as you cross the bridge)

How participants will benefit:

• Stronger sense of identity and belonging

• Clearer understanding of personal roles within family and community

• Increased confidence in cultural foundations

• Deeper connection to Mino-Bimaadiziwin as a way of life

This gathering is open to all who wish to learn, heal, and reconnect. It is especially supportive for those looking to explore culturally grounded approaches to wellness, trauma, and identity.

If comfortable, women please wear long skirts.
