The Land Update Meetings have been postponed until further notice.

Coming this Friday our monthly Talking 2 Spirit!
"The creation of the term “two-spirit” is attributed to Elder Myra Laramee, who proposed its use during the Third Annual Inter-tribal Native American, First Nations, Gay and Le***an American Conference, held in Winnipeg in 1990. The term is a translation of the Anishinaabemowin term niizh manidoowag, two spirits."

We know with school returning there can be a lot of chaos! Even with reducing temperatures, cars get hot very quickly, so always look before you lock!
