  • Reflections on Reconciliation Within the Georgian Bay Biosphere Region, Anishinabek Territory
    Reconciliation in Action: Reflections on Reconciliation within the Georgian Bay Biosphere Region, Anishinabek Territory (Photo credit: Arthur Gron) A Reflection Paper prepared for the Canadian Commission for UNESCO By JUDGE, Kyla & MASON, Greg Georgian Bay, July 2019 To quote this article: Cover image: Anita Chechok, Wasauksing First Nation and founding member of GBBR’s Cultural Advisory Circle JUDGE, Kyla & MASON, Greg. “Reconciliation in Action: Reflections on Reconciliation within the Georgian Bay Biosphere Region, Anishinabek Territory”, the Canadian Commission for UNESCO’s Idealab, July 2019. The views and opinions expressed in this article are those of the authors and do not necessarily reflect the official policy or position of the Canadian Commission for UNESCO. 2 About the Authors Zhowshkawabunokwe (Kyla) is an Anishinaabe Kwe from Shawanaga First Nation. She recently graduated in Indigenous Studies from Trent University and is employed by GBBR as a Land-Based Youth Education Coordinator. Greg Mason is a lifetime resident of Georgian Bay and Parry Sound, Ontario and is the GBBR General Manager. He is educated in environmental science and land planning. 3 Introduction The crafting of a story of partnership in the spirit of truth and reconciliation is not easy; no single person can represent the fullness of our experiences. Rather, we can look for and share patterns. However, the crafting of this paper has been valuable in helping staff at the Georgian Bay Biosphere Reserve (GBBR) understand where we have been and where we are on our journey together. This article was commissioned by the Canadian Biosphere Reserves Association (CBRA) and the Canadian Commission for UNESCO, with support from the Community Conservation Research Network (CCRN).

  • 1 Gikinoo'amaagowin Anishinaabeg (Teaching the Anishinaabe People)
    Gikinoo’amaagowin Anishinaabeg (Teaching the Anishinaabe People) By Ogimaa Ginewikwe Colleen Sheryl McIvor A thesis submitted to the Faculty of Indigenous Studies in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the Master of Arts Degree Department of Indigenous Studies The University of Winnipeg Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada November 2013 Copyright © 2013 Colleen McIvor 1 2 Abstract This thesis analyzes the roles and responsibilities of Anishinaabe Ogichidaakwe (woman warrior) using Anishinaabe and Western methodologies. As an Anishinaabekwe I use Anishinaabe language to engage in my responsibility to learn and share the language. In this thesis I move in and out of two different ways of knowing adapting to two epistemologies. While moving between Anishinaabe and Western epistemologies I located an ethical space where my spiritually connected and culturally grounded perspective is recognized. I examine and reconstruct the political/leadership, social, and spiritual roles and responsibilities of Ogichidaakwe over a critical period of change, 1632 to 1871. Anishinaabe leadership knowledge and practice experienced a shift as the Anishinaabeg community adapted to the experience of European contact. This shift is recognized after braiding together literature that is outlined in my thesis as the shift, colonial impact and absence. Of particular interest are women-based Aadizookaanag (Anishinaabe narrative with a scared being or spirit in it) and women-based Aadizookaanan (Anishinaabe narratives and ancient stories), and how these narratives are connected to Ogichidaakweg roles and responsibilities. I interconnect the Jiisikaan (shake tent), ethnohistorical, and historical as methodological approaches in my research in search of Debwewin (truth). Therefore, both the content and methodology of this thesis adds to the body of knowledge to the field of Indigenous Studies.
