  • About First Nation Autonomy & Anishinabek Unity
    Anishinaabe Governance is... ABOUT FIRST NATION AUTONOMY & ANISHINABEK UNITY First Nation Autonomy - First Nation autonomy while working together in unity as the Anishinabek, an Indigenous Nation of People, has always been the basis of both the proposed Governance Agreement and the ratified Anishinabek Nation Education Agreement. Autonomy and unity were stated often by approximately 4,000 First Nation citizens who participated each year in the Nation Building and Restoration of Jurisdiction consultation processes from 1995 to now. These processes were facilitated by the Union of Ontario Indians under the direction of the Anishinabek Grand Council. There have been many Grand Council Resolutions providing direction by First Nation Chiefs over the years on the education and governance initiatives. The Anishinabek Grand Council – The Anishinabek Grand Council has its roots in the Ojibway (Chippewas), Odawa and Potawatomi Nations which formed the Confederacy of the Three Fires of peoples who shared similar languages and territories and who met together for military and political purposes. By the mid 1700s, the Council of Three Fires became the core of the Great Lakes Confederacy. The Hurons, Algonquins, Nipissing, Sauks, Foxes, and others joined the Great Lakes Confederacy. In 1870, after Canada's creation in 1867, the Confederacy transformed to the Grand General Indian Council of Ontario and Quebec. According to the minutes of the annual meetings, much of the Grand Council's time was spent on reviewing the Indian Act. Today the Anishinabek Grand Council represents 39 First Nations and approximately 65,000 First Nation citizens. The Union of Ontario Indians - In 1949, the Union of Ontario Indians (UOI) was established to replace the Grand General Indian Council.

  • Guide to Acknowledging First Peoples & Traditional Territory
    Guide to Acknowledging First Peoples & Traditional Territory September 2017 CAUT Guide to Acknowledging First Peoples & Traditional Territory September 2017 The following document offers the Canadian Association of University Teachers (CAUT) recommended territorial acknowledgement for institutions where our members work, organized by province. While most of these campuses are included, the list will gradually become more complete as we learn more about specific traditional territories. When requested, we have also included acknowledgements for other post-secondary institutions as well. We wish to emphasize that this is a guide, not a script. We are recommending the acknowledgements that have been developed by local university-based Indigenous councils or advisory groups, where possible. In other places, where there are multiple territorial acknowledgements that exist for one area or the acknowledgements are contested, the multiple acknowledgements are provided. This is an evolving, working guide. © 2016 Canadian Association of University Teachers 2705 Queensview Drive, Ottawa, Ontario K2B 8K2 \\ 613-820-2270 \\ www.caut.ca Cover photo: “Infinity” © Christi Belcourt CAUT Guide to Acknowledging First Peoples and Traditional Territory September 2017 Contents 1| How to use this guide Our process 2| Acknowledgement statements Newfoundland and Labrador Prince Edward Island Nova Scotia New Brunswick Québec Ontario Manitoba Saskatchewan Alberta British Columbia Canadian Association of University Teachers 3 CAUT Guide to Acknowledging First Peoples and Traditional Territory September 2017 1| How to use this guide The goal of this guide is to encourage all academic staff context or the audience in attendance.

  • Gathering the Pieces: the Jondreau Decision EDUCATION MATERIALS
    AN OGICHIDAA STORYTELLERS VIDEO SERIES Gathering the Pieces: The Jondreau Decision EDUCATION MATERIALS This is our way of life. If we follow this path we will be strong again. Lee Obizaan Staples, St. Croix Ojibwe Ogichidaa Storytellers Video Series EDUCATION MATERIALS Introduction The successful reclamation and exercise of Ojibwe treaty rights in the late twentieth century is one of the defining moments in the history of the Anishinaabe (also referred to as Ojibwe or Chippewa) people in Wisconsin and central Great Lakes region. It was also a turning point in relations between the state of Wisconsin, Michigan, and Minnesota and the eleven federally recognized Ojibwe sovereign nations, which includes the following: • Bad River Band of Lake Superior Chippewa • Lac Courte Oreilles Band of Lake Superior Chippewa • Lac du Flambeau Band of Lake Superior Chippewa • Red Cliff Band of Lake Superior Chippewa • Sokaogon Chippewa Community (Mole Lake Band of Lake Superior Chippewa) • St. Croix Chippewa Indians of Wisconsin • Lac Vieux Desert Band of Lake Superior Chippewa • Keweenaw Bay Indian Community • Bay Mills Indian Community • Fond du Lac Band of Lake Superior Chippewa • Mille Lacs Band of Ojibwe Purpose The purpose of these materials is to support the use of the Ogichidaa Storytellers Videos in grades 6–12 classrooms. Included are enduring understandings and essential questions to frame learning, extension activities to connect the past to the present and the future, a glossary of key vocabulary words, and lesson ideas for the six Ogichidaa Storytellers Videos. Enduring Understanding The United States (US) federal government is responsible for providing for the welfare and well-being of all Native people and nations and non-Native populations within its national boundaries, including territorial possessions.

  • Dibaginjigaadeg Anishinaabe Ezhitwaad: a Tribal Climate Adaptation Menu
    ginjigaadeg iba An D ish in a a b e E z h A i t w T r C a i a a b r d i n a g l f o C r l th i os m e wh a o t te ake A care of us da u ptation Men Abstract Climate change has impacted and will continue to impact indigenous peoples, their lifeways and culture, and the natural world upon which they rely, in unpredictable and potentially devastating ways. Many climate adaptation planning tools fail to address the unique needs, values and cultures of indigenous communities. This Tribal Climate Adaptation Menu, which was developed by a diverse group of collaborators representing tribal, academic, intertribal and government entities in Minnesota, Wisconsin and Michigan, provides a framework to integrate indigenous and traditional knowledge, culture, language and history into the climate adaptation planning process. Developed as part of the Climate Change Response Framework, the Tribal Climate Adaptation Menu is designed to work with the Northern Institute of Applied Climate Science (NIACS) Adaptation Workbook, and as a stand-alone resource. The Menu is an extensive collection of climate change adaptation actions for natural resource management, organized into tiers of general and more specific ideas. It also includes a companion Guiding Principles document, which describes detailed considerations for working with tribal communities. While this first version of the Menu was created based on Ojibwe and Menominee perspectives, languages, concepts and values, it was intentionally designed to be adaptable to other indigenous communities, allowing for the incorporation of their language, knowledge and culture.

  • The Prophecy of the Seven Fires of the Anishinaabe
    The Prophecy of the Seven Fires of the Anishinaabe Then seven prophets appeared to the people. The First Prophet told the people that in the time of the First Fire they would leave their homes by the sea and follow the sign of the megis. They were to journey west into strange lands in search of a island in the shape of a turtle. This island will be linked to the purification of the earth. Such an island was to be found at the beginning and at the end of their journey. Along the way they would find a river connecting two large sweet water seas. This river would be narrow and deep as though a knife had cut through the land. They would stop seven times to create villages but they would know that their journey was complete when they found food growing on the water. If they did not leave, there would be much suffering and they would be destroyed. And they would be pursued and attacked by other nations along the way so they must be strong and ready to defend themselves. The Second Prophet told them they could recognize the Second Fire because while they were camped by a sweet water sea they would lose their direction and that the dreams of a little boy would point the way back to the true path, the stepping stones to their future. The Third Prophet said that in the Third Fire the Anishinabe would find the path to the lands prepared for them and they would continue their journey west to the place where food grows upon the water.

  • 1 Natasha Myhal Dumbarton Oaks Land Back Symposium May 13
    Natasha Myhal Dumbarton Oaks Land Back Symposium May 13, 2021 Nmé as Elder Brother: Sustaining Ecological Memory through Indigenous Restoration Abstract: Gichigami (Great Lakes) is a site where the concerns of fish and the land meet. My paper addresses the role of Anishinaabe-more-than-human relations as a re-engagement with subsistence practices that are burdened with memories of colonialism. More-than-humans as relatives generate their own place-based knowledge as they navigate through land/water fraught with jurisdictions and remain deeply embedded in Anishinaabe social systems. This paper will argue that more-than-human memories of the past and future are made through Odawa acts of remembering and forgetting. My paper also attempts to understand how these relations shape present memories of remembered Anishinaabe pasts; putting forward a theory of Indigenous ecological memory that addresses how more-than-humans hold alternative memories, alive with ancestral knowledge. As Indigenous ethnobotanical literature and Anishinaabe methodologies informs my approach, I center the role more-than-humans play in how land/water is remembered (Geniusz 2009; Simpson 2017). Through Indigenous ethnobotany, I bring in the importance of elder brothers, animals, as being critical to this field, as animals cannot survive without plants. Indigenous ecological memory connects Anishinaabe people to the inherent struggles over land/water through contemporary Indigenous governance practices in Michigan. Thus, my paper allows for an engagement with an Anishinaabe distinctiveness, free from colonial interpretation. My Anishinaabe Positionality Boozhoo / Aaniin Natasha nindiznikaaz, makwa nindoodem, Baawating Anishinaabe izhinikaade ishkonigon wenjibaayan.

  • Introduction
    INTRODUCTION The members of the White Bear First Nations (WBFNs) represent four significant tribal affiliations: the Nahkawininiwak or Anishinaabe (Ojibwe), the Nehiyawak (Plains Cree), the Nakota (Assiniboine) and the Dakota (Sioux). Before European immigration each of these tribal groups occupied large territories and by using information from the journals of early European explorers and archeological data from more recent studies approximations of the traditional territories of these tribes are presented in Figure 1 above.1 After European contact these tribes were impacted by devastating new European diseases, their traditional economies were disrupted by the fur trade, animal depletions became common and intensive European immigration eventually took up most of these lands. Despite these challenges many First Nations peoples have continued their traditional hunting, fishing and gathering practises up to the current time. The focus of this study is to research and record the historical and current traditional land use of the White Bear First Nations members. This study includes a brief description of pre- European land use but primarily focuses on more historical and current traditional land use and occupancy. The current White Bear Reserve is located in the Moose Mountains; an area which, as can be seen on the map above, is located in a central location between pre-contact tribal lands. Archeological research2 shows that the lands surrounding the Moose Mountains may have been frequently used by the Nakota (Assiniboine) and their ancestors before and after their split with the other Sioux nations.3 The Moose Mountains were also used by the close neighbours to the north, the Cree, who became allies with the Nakota people as a result of the conflict with the Dakota.

  • An Analysis of Traditional Ojibwe Civil Chief Leadership
    An Analysis of Traditional Ojibwe Civil Chief Leadership A DISSERTATION SUBMITTED TO THE FACULTY OF THE GRADUATE SCHOOL OF THE UNIVERSITY OF MINNESOTA BY Giniwgiizhig - Henry Flocken IN PARTIAL FULFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF DOCTOR OF EDUCATION Frank Guldbrandsen, Adviser May, 2013 © Giniwgiizhig - Henry Flocken 2013 i Acknowledgements My wife, Clarice Mountain, endured the weight of my absence. Her strength helps me succeed. I love her immensely. My children, Terry, Tashina, Samara, Bobbi, Ricky, Ryan, Lisa, Ashley, and Desi, also felt my absence. Marcy Ardito instilled in me that I was smart and could do anything. Dr. Frank Guldbrandsen is a friend and an intellectual guerrilla emancipating cattle from slaughter. ii Dedication This work is dedicated to the late Albert Churchill, a spiritual leader, and his great family. Albert kept traditional ceremonies alive and always shared knowledge with those who asked. Knowledge is useless unless it is shared. He said if we do not share our knowledge, then the flow of new knowledge will be blocked and we will not learn. He always said, “Together we can do anything.” iii Abstract Little is known about traditional Ojibwe civil chief leadership. This critical ethnography is an analysis of traditional Ojibwe civil chief leadership. Hereditary chiefs are interviewed. Chief leadership lies nested in the Anishinaabe Constitution. It is clan-based and value-based. It includes all of creation. Leadership is emergent and symbolic. Chiefs symbolized and are spokespersons for the will of the people. They were selected based on their virtues. The real power is in the people, in clans in council.
