We are grateful and honour the generosity of the southern watershed of Manido’wi zaagaiaagan (Spirit Lake) – Georgian Bay, Gojijijng - Lake Couchiching and Wawaseyaaguming (Shining Lake) – Lake Simcoe. Waters that have historically sustained the lives of the Wendat, and the Anishinaabe, and today give life to the Haudenosaunee and Georgian Bay Métis. Who, through various agreements generously share this life with nations and newcomers from all corners of Mother Earth.  

 

We are committed to the spirit of Debwewin, Truth and understand that it always comes first, and is always at the centre.   One of our collective commitments to Action is education and this site represents a co-creative first step in awakening and deepening our journey today to honour all of our ancestors, relatives and all of life in generations to come.

      We are traveling in a Circle
    Gojijing Truth and
Reconciliation Roundtable

The Roundtable is a growing circle of community leaders, committed to generating pathways of truth, reconciliation and right relations across our greater Gojijing bioregion in Williams Treaty Territory, where our waterways and traditional pathways meet and gather for time immemorial.   We move together in collective leadership (cross-cultural, cross-sectoral) from artists, change makers, teachers - scholars, healers, protectors, visionaries, community leaders, gather together in generative dialogue to sense into our relational responsibilities and what is needed for generational change and meaningful action.  The Truth and Reconciliation Roundtable began in September 2019 with Senator Gwen Boniface, together with Elders, Grandmother Lorraine McRrae, Jeff Monague and John Rice, illuminated by the Oshkiniijig Youth Leaders and our living circle of community leaders and visionaries.
