About this Event

Mino Bimaadiziwin (5-Part Series) - Part 2: Waabanong (East)

Join the Sophia Hilton Foundation of Canada for Mino Bimaadiziwin, a powerful five-part series exploring Anishinaabe worldview, teachings, and storytelling based on the Four Directions.



🌿 Session 2: Waabanong (East)

In the eastern direction sits stories about birth, spring, and creation. Hear teachings from this direction as we explore this first cycle of life. From our creation in the stars and being lowered to earth, to the way we received our clans, this session focuses on life and our responsibilities as the "Good Beings" on earth.

This engaging presentation offers insight into Indigenous knowledge systems, storytelling traditions, and timeless lessons that remain deeply relevant today.


🎀 Featuring: Dr. Jennifer Meness

Algonquins of Pikwakanagan First Nation and Professor of Indigenous Studies at Toronto Metropolitan University, Dr. Meness brings deep knowledge, lived experience, and an accessible teaching style that welcomes both Indigenous and non-Indigenous audiences.


🧡 Special Setting

Held in an intimate gallery environment featuring stunning textile art created by Master Anishinaabe Quilt Designer Alice Williams from Red Lake First Nation, this event offers a uniquely immersive cultural experience.
