It’s what she’s always known. She donned her first jingle dress before she can remember. Early this spring, McQuabbie recalled the story one evening while sitting at her kitchen table in Henvey Inlet First Nation. It’s a story full of emotion and rich with memories for the 46 year- old who grew up in her home community of Wauzhusk Onigum in northwestern Ontario. Her father, the late Alex Skead, sat her down when she was about 11 or 12 years old and told her the story of how the first jingle dress came to be. Skead told his daughter, that his mother, her paternal grandmother was the first woman of the jingle dress.

The First Nations that ratify the proposed Anishinabek Nation Governance Agreement (Participating First Nations) will have the power to enact laws in the following areas: leadership selection, citizenship, language and culture, and operation of government. The proposed Anishinabek Nation Governance Agreement includes the complementary Anishinabek Nation Fiscal Agreement that outlines the funding for governance-related functions.
