SUMMARY:Memorial Installation Ceremony
DESCRIPTION:Mississippi Mills All My Relations (MMAMR) is participating in The Canadian Library\, a community-engaged art initiative of 8000 books to honour Murdered and Missing Indigenous Women and Girls and 2SLGBTQQTIA+ people. Various small groups in the community have wrapped 120 books with Indigenous-designed fabrics and put gold-lettered names on the spines pay tribute to the lives lost and the grief suffered by their loved ones. The names on the books have been shared by elders and families who want their stories told. Some books remain nameless to honour those who may never have a chance to tell their story. \nOn June 15 at 1pm\, a memorial ceremony will be led by Elder Barb Brant\, Mohawk\, Turtle Clan. The books will come together in one bookcase to be installed at the Mississippi Valley Textile Museum. Eventually\, The Canadian Library will decide where the books will be permanently displayed. \nElder Barb Brant\, Mohawk\, Turtle Clan will lead the Ceremony\, with Knowledge Keeper Dylan Jenkins. Tony Belcourt\, Métis Knowledge Keeper and Elder\, and Mayor Christa Lowry will provide welcoming addresses. We will read and honour the names of those represented on the books. Seating capacity is 75. Please register by clicking the link June15Ceremony.eventbrite.ca\, to ensure you have a seat. Once seating capacity is reached\, people are encouraged to join for standing room only. This free event will last about an hour. \nThe bookcase will remain at the Mississippi Valley Textile Museum until a permanent home is determined for it by The Canadian Library. \n“Through Art. We Reconcile\, Reconnect\, & Rebuild.”\nThe Canadian Library

SUMMARY:Celebrating Summer Solstice Together
DESCRIPTION:Mississippi Mills All My Relations (MMAMR) is a group of community members who recognize that we all have a responsibility to help restore what was once a relationship of trust and friendship between Indigenous and non-Indigenous Peoples in our country. This year MMAMR is partnering with the Municipality of Mississippi Mills to host a Summer Solstice celebration bringing together Indigenous and non-Indigenous people. \nThis celebration\, open to everyone in the community\, will include Indigenous ceremony\, music\, jingle dancing\, crafts\, Inuit games and songs by Almonte’s Rhythm and Song Community Choir. \nDo you have something to contribute? We want to hear from you! We are hoping that some musicians from our community\, both Indigenous and non-Indigenous\, might bring a song or two that celebrates summer solstice and/or mother earth. We are also looking for vendors of crafts and finger foods that are produced honouring mother earth. If you are interested in participating\, please email mm.allmyrelations@gmail.com and tell us about what contribution you would like to make to this celebration. \nJoin us Thursday\, June 20th in Riverfront Park starting at 6pm\, ceremony at 6:30pm. An alternative indoor location will be available in the event of rain. Learn about the dance\, music\, food and rituals of Indigenous peoples and have fun celebrating the longest day of the year together. You’ll also have the chance to explore the Seven Gifts project MMAMR completed last year in Riverfront Park with Indigenous and non-Indigenous artists\, elders\, and knowledge keepers. \n– Miigwetch\, Maarsi\, Qujannamiik\, Thank you.

SUMMARY:Finding our way to reconciliation by questioning settler history
DESCRIPTION:A part of reconciliation should be questioning the ideas that justified settlement and the removal of the First Nations from their lands.  These ideas continue to justify settler ownership and exploitation of 99.8 percent of Canada’s land. This talk will explore some of those ideas through the history of settlement on a tract of land adjacent to Cornwall\, Ontario\, then part of the Akwesasne community’s territory but first rented and then sold to settlers in 1847. This and other parts of what were Akwesasne lands are the subject of ongoing land claims. \nBob MacDermid is a retired York University professor and member of the Lanark County Neighbours for Truth and Reconciliation.
