Description

Niigaan: In Conversation is honoured and excited to partner with Red Man Laughing for its upcoming Winter Gala and Fundraiser at the National Arts Centre on December 10, 2013 in Ottawa, Ontario.

This will be a discussion to recreate our shared future. Returning to Ourselves is a translation of the Ojibwe word “Biiskaabiiyang”. It’s been a year since Chief Spence’s fast and Idle No More. It’s time to regroup, refocus and figure out what we’re doing next. We do this by looking at what we’ve done and what needs to be done and where to go next. We asked ourselves, what happened to the fire? The community rallied around Chief Spence, there was a desperate feeling, people brought wood, food, soup, medicines, water. We need to get that energy back. The problems are still here, we still have work to do.

Our host for the evening is Ryan McMahon, comedian, actor, thinker and Anishinaabe living in Winnipeg. He will be joined by:

-Grand Chief Derek Nepinak (Pine Creek First Nation, Assembly of Manitoba Chiefs)
-Chief Isadore Day (Serpent River FN)
-Lee Maracle (author of a number of critically acclaimed winning literary works)
- Leanne Simpson (author of a number of critically acclaimed winning literary works)
-Geraldine King (Academic extraordinaire and community mover and shaker)
- Celina Matasawagon ( astounding inspiration)

Elaine and Theland Kicknosway (Drumming and Dancing)

Barbara Hill (Spiritual Elder)

Music from:
-Gerri Trimble (Jazz singer beyond compare)
-Mosha Folger (a.k.a. M.O. hip hop, spoken word master)

Silent Auction:
-Christi Belcourt
-Sonny Assu
- Jaime Koebel
-Mo McGreavy

and more!



Wab Kinew, Director of Indigenous Inclusion at the University of Winnipeg, the host of CBC's 8th Fire and Al Jazeera host, will be joining us to film the discussion between our host and our guests! In partnership with the University of Winnipeg, Niigaan: In Conversation discussion will be used to create teaching materials around the topic of Idle No More. We are so honoured and excited that Wab and the University will be supporting our work.
