World Wildlife Day March 3

Today Keepers of the Water stands with the lands, waters, and all living beings who share this territory with us. Wildlife are not resources to us. They are relatives. Moose, buffalo, fish, birds, and the medicines along our riverbanks are part of our laws, our stories, and our responsibilities.

When wildlife are harmed, our people are harmed. Protecting biodiversity means protecting clean water, healthy ecosystems, and Indigenous rights and responsibilities to care for the land for the next seven generations.

Water is life. Wildlife are life.

Formula Recall!

A baby formula sold online and at Costco is being recalled in Canada due to concerns of a toxin that can cause food poisoning.

The CFIA says two batches of Kendamil-brand infant formula that say "with whole milk" on the label may contain cereulide toxin, which can quickly cause nausea and vomiting. Cereulide is not destroyed by heat and can survive temperatures that would usually kill bacteria.

The weather is supposed to warm up this week and we would love to see you on Thursday! All parents/caregivers are welcome. We have snacks!😃

Our free Indigenous Parenting & Caregiver Circle meets every Thursday from 10am - 12pm at 9613 111 Ave NW.

The Indigenous Parenting & Caregiver Circle is a welcoming and supportive space for parents and caregivers and children to connect, share experiences, and build community.

This group is dedicated to fostering relationships among Indigenous parents who are raising children with the values, teachings, and traditions of our cultures. It is also a great place for children to meet new friends!

In a world that often feels disconnected, we come together to create a strong, intergenerational network that supports the unique needs of Indigenous families. Whether you’re navigating the challenges of balancing modern life with cultural practices, seeking advice from others who share similar experiences, or simply looking for a place to share your joys and struggles, this circle is here for you.

We believe in the power of community and the strength found in sharing stories, offering support, and learning from one another. Join us to connect with other Indigenous parents and caregivers who are committed to raising the next generation in the spirit of love, resilience, and cultural pride.

No registration needed.

We have had another spot open up for next weekend's workshop!

Our free workshop this month is an adult moccasins class! We have five spots still open.

In keeping with our project's vision, moccasins made at this workshop will stay with our Society to go into ceremony and then be gifted to families who have a loved one journeying back to the spirit world.

This workshop takes four days/two weekends to complete. Folks are asked to commit to Feb.28-Mar.1 and Mar. 21-22 (10 am to 6 pm all four days).

Kistehitah kimeskanām is a project arising from the identification of unmarked graves at former residential school sites across Turtle Island. It comes from a vision of a path lined with baby moccasins leading to a beautiful healing lodge. A pipe ceremony was held for the start of this project with Elder Ruth Cardinal de Ubiera in 2021.

The moccasins (maskisina), moss bags (wâspisona) and crib sized star blankets created as part of this project will honour the children who were sent to the schools, the new spirits coming into the world today and spirits journeying home.

An Elder or knowledge keeper will join us to share teachings and language.

You will go home with skills that can be used to make more crafts and be shared with others. Take home patterns and instructions will be provided.

Questions? Email kistehitahkimeskanam@gmail.com

Much gratitude to our funder ECALA and our partner Dickensfield Amity House for making these workshops possible.
