WATCH this 30-second video with Nii Gaani Aki Inini - Leading Earth Man (Dave Courchene) - talking about the meaning of ‪#‎OnjisayAki‬. 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. Announcing Onjisay-Aki Youth Climate Summit at Turtle Lodge - September 16-19, 2016. 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!

WINNIPEG, MARCH 30, 2017 — The world premiere of the film “Our Tomorrows, Today: Wahbung 1971” (Produced by MFNERC: Nicole Magne and David Robertson) took place at the Eckhardt Gramatte Hall at the University of Winnipeg. A number of witnesses to and writers of the original Wahbung 1971 document, commissioned and released by then Manitoba Indian Brotherhood Grand Chief Dave Courchene Sr. in 1971, were in the film or in attendance at the premiere, including some of the Women of Wahbung – Chief Jean Folster, Janet Fontaine, Verna Kirkness and Jocelyn Bruyere; and Dave Courchene Jr., son of the late Grand Chief Dave Courchene Sr. In the early 1970s, the First Nations people of Manitoba came together to reject Pierre Trudeau’s controversial White Paper written in 1969. From this historic movement came an influential position paper known as Wahbung, Our Tomorrows. This short documentary explores the history of Wahbung, Our Tomorrows, and shows how it was a catalyst for First Nations peoples’ right to self-determination.
