Les 15 enseignements du tipi et les enseignements sacrés
Saviez-vous que dans la culture Crie, la structure et la construction d’un tipi (migawap) sont hautement symboliques et spirituels? À chacun des 15 poteaux qui le constituent se rattache un enseignement. Dans le livre «Les sept enseignements sacrés», les auteurs David Bouchard, Kristy Cameron et Martin Joseph ont tenté de construire une version générique des principaux enseignements , surtout axée sur la culture Anishnabe/Ojibwé. En fait, chacune des Premières Nations possède ses propres pratiques culturelles et spirituelles. Venez en découvrir davantage sur la culture et la spiritualité Crie avec mes partenaires Ekti Cardinal et son conjoint David McConnell. Vous découvrirez comment ces enseignements ont contribué à assurer la survie des peuples autochtones à travers l’histoire tout en découvrant des ressources que vous pourrez intégrer à vos pratiques pédagogiques. Enfin, des ressources «clé en main» seront proposées aux enseignants qui souhaitent intégrer les enseignements sacrés à leur planification pédagogique.

How to Create a (Simple) Cultural Exchange Partnership
A cultural exchange is a unique opportunity for authentic learning to take place in the hearts and minds of children and adults. Teachers across our nation today face big challenges in implementing Truth and Reconciliation Calls to Action. We look within to find ways to build trust and work toward connecting and healing to bring Indigenous and non-Indigenous people closer together. A cultural exchange can be safe ground for building life changing understandings. Maxine Hildebrandt and Lisl Gunderman are recipients of the 2018 Governor General's History Award for Excellence in Teaching. Their award winning cultural exchange brought together students from Mother Earth's Children's Charter School, an Indigenous charter school, and Wildwood School, a tiny rural public school. Students in neighboring schools shared one another's histories and differing perspectives which resulted in meaningful and transformational bonds between students, teachers and communities. In this workshop you will come away with the first steps of an Action Plan to create a cultural exchange of your own. This session is well suited for teachers, administrators and leadership.

Fox Chaser: a winter on the trapline
Join the Chris Hsiung Producer and Director of "Elder in the Making" for his follow-up feature film Fox Chaser (produced by Chris Hsiung, directed by Rio Mitchell). This documentary follows a young Cree trapper, Robert Grandjambe Jr. as he chases his dream to live and work on the trapline. But with encroaching industrial development and increasing family obligations, this may be his last chance to live his passion in the freedom of the wild. In the remote village of Fort Chipewyan, food security is scarce, and living off the land has always been important. As more and more people leave the bush for the city, a trapper’s life becomes increasingly isolated. Robert’s family questions the choices he is making. Nevertheless, as he witnesses the mounting stresses put on the land to feed and power our growing cities, he is determined to continue living amongst the natural world he loves. Audiences will be treated to a viewing of the film followed by a Q&A with Chris Hsiung.

The 15 Tipi Teachings and the Sacred Teachings
Did you know that, in the Cree culture, the structure and the construction of a tipi (migwap) are very spiritual and symbolic? It is constructed with 15 poles and each one corresponds to a “teaching”. The “Seven Sacred Teachings” by David Bouchard, presents a generic version of the main teachings, focused mostly on the Anishnabe / Ojibwé culture. In fact, each of the First Nations has its own spiritual and cultural practices. Join us in discovering the Plains Cree teachings with Ekti Cardinal and her husband David McConnell. You will learn how those teachings helped to ensure the survival of indigenous peoples and discover resources you can use in your classroom.
