Respect My Braids. Respect My Story.

Yesterday, someone reached out and touched my braids without asking. It caught me off guard, but more than that, it hurt. My braids are not just hairstyle. They carry the strength of my ancestors, the resilience of my people, culture, history, respect, and most of all, the love of my mother.

Each strand is woven with care, a reflection of my mother’s journey, her survival through residential school, her reclaiming of culture, language, and identity. My braids are a symbol of everything that was taken from her and everything she fought to pass down to me. Something that was not given to me in that moment.
When you touch my hair without consent, you are not just invading my personal space. You are disregarding the deep meaning it holds.

Our hair is sacred. It tells stories of resistance, healing, and pride, so I ask with love and firm boundaries: Please do not touch my braids. Instead, listen to the stories they carry. Learn. Respect.

Biboon Mino Waabanoowiwin Winter Solstice

Today, we honor the longest night of the year and the return of the sun's light. The Winter Solstice is a sacred time for reflection, renewal, and connection in Anishinaabe culture.

The phrase "Giishpin Bizindawadwaa, Giigidowag Mitigoog" beautifully reflects the Anishinaabe worldview, which emphasizes the interconnectedness between humans and nature.

In this perspective, trees are seen as relatives and spiritual beings with wisdom to share. They are not just part of the environment but active participants in the circle of life, offering teachings, medicine, shelter, and sustenance. These teachings encourage us, as caretakers of the Earth, to slow down and truly listen to the wisdom of nature. To approach nature with humility, respect, and a sense of shared existence.

By listening to the "voices" of the trees, we are reminded of the responsibility to live in balance with the natural world and honor the sacred relationship between all living beings.

Giishpin Bizindawadwaa, Giigidowag Mitigoog

Got a little snow

11/28/2024

In Anishinaabemowin, Biboon translates to winter. Within this word is the teaching that life pauses, rests, and slows down.

Winter invites us to take time for reflection, renewal, and rest, just as the land does. It’s a season of balance and restoration for both nature and ourselves.

Let this winter remind you to embrace rest as a part of the natural cycle of life.

Boozhoo Migizi!!! Chi-Miigwech for visiting us at the 3 Sisters Garden the other day. Often regarded as a sacred messenger, the eagle is believed to have a special connection to the Creator due to its ability to soar to great heights. Its keen vision symbolizes clarity, insight, and perspective, reminding people to see the bigger picture and stay connected to higher wisdom #eagle #hiawathahighlands #indigenousknowledge #resilience #wisdom

Walk Among The Trees is more than just walking into the forest. It's about sharing our knowledge, culture, language, and food. Taking the time to see, hear, smell, taste, and touch all that is around us. I enjoy sharing the language on our tours. It helps me to learn new words and how to put what we experience into sentences. It's a struggle sometimes, but by learning, we are able to share and pass on what Walk Among The Trees is all about, Maada'oonidiwag (sharing).
