The webinar concluded with Anishinaabe Elder Nii Gaani Aki Inini (Dr. Dave Courchene) sharing a dream he received about the importance of supporting young people, as they bring gifts of strength, courage, and pride in who they are, in spite of the challenges that they have. Setting the Foundation for Good Relations in Our Homeland was a webinar held on January 11th, 2021. A national group of nearly 500 health leaders from across Canada met virtually to hear the perspective of Indigenous Knowledge Keepers, led by members of the National Turtle Lodge Council of Knowledge Keepers, on the issue of racism in health care.

DAVE COURCHENE (LEADING EARTH MAN) shares the meaning of Onjisay Aki. As the Original Peoples, we have lived here in our homeland for tens of thousands of years. Our Earth is changing, and so must we as People. Onjisay Aki means "a changing Earth" in our Anishinabe language. It's also the name of a journey we are on together. Our ancestors left a footprint, a trail founded on Indigenous values of respect, which can lead us all to have a healthy relationship with each other and the planet. Our children are depending on us to follow in those footsteps, walking this trail of peace. www.turtlelodge.org Join The Turtle Lodge on Facebook! With the help of filmmakers Ian Mauro, a founding director of the Prairie Climate Centre, and Marcel Kreutzer from the University of Winnipeg, we created a video of Dave explaining the meaning of Onjisay Aki.
