SUMMARY:FULL: Indigenous Farming on the Prairies: Stew & Stories
DESCRIPTION:We will gather to work together on a traditional “Three Sisters Stew” of corn\, squash and beans\, feast together and have a time of teaching with three Indigenous knowledge-keepers: Audrey Logan\, Caroline Chartrand & Stan McKay. \nPlease let us know you’ll be coming so we can be prepared with enough food! Email sansau@mymts.net or call 204-268-3913. Space is limited. \nUpdate: This event is now full. We regret that we do not have more room for any more participants beyond those who have already registered. \n  \nSuggested donation: $10 \n  \nAudrey Logan is an Indigenous food sovereignty activist campaigning for “a dehydration station on every nation.” By returning to the ancient art of preserving food in times of abundance through dehydration\, Audrey has learned to maintain a nutritious food supply  throughout the year on a fixed income. She is on a mission to share this knowledge with remote and urban communities alike. If\, as Wendell Berry says\, “we need a revolution that the poor can afford\,” Audrey is surely one of its vanguard. \nCaroline Chartrand is the founder of the Métis Horticulture and Heritage Society\, and has served on the board and been a writer for Seeds of Diversity Canada. She has been a passionate researcher of Indigenous farming on the prairies for decades. She has collected and saved seed for many rare varieties dating back to the early food systems of Indigenous and Métis farmers in this area. She is involved in the stewardship of the Gete Okosomin\, the “really cool old squash” that forms one of the ingredients of our Three Sister Stew. \nStan McKay (Walking Buffalo) is a Cree elder from Fisher River First Nation. In Fisher River life was maintained by hunting\, fishing\, trapping\, a few chickens\, cows\, horses and small gardens. At a young age Stan was taken away to Birtle Residential School\, where he and the other boys ran a fully operational mixed farm. The boys began with collecting eggs in the elementary years and were making hay and tending hogs and steers by the time they were in high school. Western agricultural skills were gained at the same time as Indigenous cultural connections were lost. Stan continues to heal and learn from the legacy of this experience. He has maintained an interest in farming that he has passed on to his children. Today he frequently helps out on his daughter’s mixed farm near Petersfield.

SUMMARY:Wakan Ija: Children\, They are Holy Too
DESCRIPTION:Children are sacred\, every single one. When traumatized\, children respond in predictable and often troublesome ways. Grandmother Pahan Pte San Win’s work with incarcerated youth has taught her some surprising lessons about trauma response and what youth need in order to return to stable and vibrant human beings. Learn Pahan’s approach to offering cultural activities that give youth a reason to be proud and a chance to shine. Hear from Grandfather Wanbdi Wakita how the teachings of Love\, Kindness\, Forgiveness and Respect can be powerful change agents. Children are sacred teachers. Let’s learn from them. \nThe Retreat runs from 10:00 a.m. to 6:00p.m. and is intended to create nourishing and relaxing experiences that are rich in Teachings and inspiration\, while also taking time to reflect\, integrate and unwind. We will sit with the fire\, relax and walk in nature\, journal\, eat good food and be with others also seeking to walk with Indigenous community in a good way. \nRegistration includes\, lunch\, dinner and snack. \nWanbdi Wakita is a Wicasa Wakan\, a Holy Man\, who has spent a lifetime making prayers for people. As a residential school survivor\, peace keeper with the Canadian Armed Forces\, Chief of Sioux Valley Dakota Nation and Sundance Chief\, Wanbdi has walked many paths.  In 2015 he received the Aboriginal Circle of Educators’ Honouring Our Elders award and in 2016 the Order of Manitoba for his life long work to support those in need and to champion a message of healing and unity between all nations. Wanbdi is a gifted counselor and storyteller who possesses a rare breadth of traditional\, cultural and sacred knowledge. \nPahan Pte San Win is Lakota\, Cree & Metis with a degree in social work from the University of Calgary. Pahan has provided counseling support to residential school survivors\, traumatized women and incarcerated men and youth. In 2016\, Pahan received the Aboriginal Circle of Educators’ Honouring Our Elders Award. She is an accomplished storyteller sharing remarkable accounts on her blog\, www.IMarriedaHolyMan.com and a published author contributing to the anthology “Keetsahnak / Our Missing and Murdered Indigenous Sisters”\, editors Anderson\, Campbell and Belcourt (2018). Perhaps most importantly\, Pahan is the Sundance leader for the Sundance of Women 2017 – 2020.\nManitoba College of Social Workers has approved this workshop for the content specific Social Work with Indigenous Peoples requirement.\nRecommended for professionals who work with children such as teachers\, parents\, child & youth care workers\, social workers\, as well as indigenous and non indigenous community members.
