“OUR HOME ON NATIVE LAND”

We know that with the arrival of this beautiful summer weather, we see a drop in attendance for our virtual events. Trust us, we get it. Zoom fatigue is real.

That being said, our July 23 event is one NOT TO BE MISSED and we mean that for a few different reasons. 

For the next edition of CreativeMornings Ottawa we are exploring the global theme ‘home’, and with the recent recoveries of indigenous children across this nation, this theme has never been more relevant. 

‘Home’ is embodied through family, traditions, food, language, and perhaps most importantly, ties to the land itself. For Indigenous people ‘Home’ is not just one specific location, it’s a relationship to land. But what happens when that is taken away? 

To speak to this month’s theme, we’re welcoming new friends from the Kitigan Zibi Anishinabeg community near Maniwaki, QC, Anna Cote and Mike Diabo.

Anna is the founder and head chef at The Birch Bite. As a graduate of the Algonquin College culinary program and the Canadian School of Natural Nutrition, she’s fiercely dedicated to reconnecting people in her community with their traditional diet. Her dishes showcase food from the land, often harvested by her own hands.

Mike is a teacher in all senses of the word. He is a high school science instructor in Kitigan Zibi and an inspiring and knowledgeable guide.

Join us on July 23 at 8:30 AM EST to listen, learn and reflect on as we dive some uncomfortable realities about the place we all call ‘home’. 

Tickets will go live here on Friday, July 9 (tomorrow) at 11:00 AM EST.
