Still thinking about what a great day we had at Wiisinidaa Let’s Eat.

The weather was beautiful, we had amazing food prepared by Irene's, and we got to harvest the corn from Nookomis Ogitigaan, our Three Sisters Garden.

Throughout the day, we shared teachings about the garden, the Three Sisters, and the importance of Indigenous food sovereignty. Growing our own food is about more than just food. It’s about our connection to the land, our seeds, our teachings, and our communities.

Getting to harvest the corn that was planted and watched it grow this summer was a pretty special part of the day.

I’m really grateful for everyone who came out, shared a meal, listened to the teachings, and spent time together in the garden.

Miigwech to Irene’s Kitchen for the amazing food and to everyone who helped make the day happen.

This is why we do it.

Wiisinidaa. Let’s eat.

This is my mom.

A little girl standing beside her sister, long before I was born.

When I look at this picture, I don't just see two little girls. I see my mom before the Mohawk Institute.

My mom was taken to residential school. She was just a child.

She survived something no child should have had to survive.

She came home carrying things she didn't always talk about. Things that stayed with her for years. Things that became part of our family, even when we didn't always have the words for them.

But my mom also carried something else.

She carried home.

She carried pieces of our family, our language, our culture and our connection to who we are.

I didn't understand all of that when I was younger.

I understand it differently now.

A lot of who I am today comes from trying to find those pieces again, learning the language, spending time on the land, learning our teachings, and understanding the things my mom and her generation were never given the chance to learn freely.

This little girl in the picture is my mom.

She survived.

And because she did, I am here.

She carried what they tried to take.
I carry what she brought home.

Yesterday had the opportunity to share Walk Among The Trees with FedNor.

We spent some time walking the land at Kinsmen Park and visiting Nookomis Ogitigaan, talking about the Seed Garden, food, medicine, and our connection to the land.

Miigwech to FedNor for coming out and walking among the trees with me.
