Building Our Bundles Culture Camp

Building Our Bundles Culture Camps are a youth-led initiative that supports the development of a bundle of relationships, knowledges, and gifts that support the maintenance of balance and wellness in our lives. The program will begin with a 4-day immersive land, language, and culture camp, continue with a series of online/on-the-land beading and traditional foods/medicine workshops, and end with a traditional foods feast that honours and reflects on the importance of wholistic wellness. The program will centre activities that feed and enhance all aspects of self, including culture camps that: enrich knowledge of Anishinaabeg traditional territories, culture and cultural practices, traditional foods and medicines; build pride, confidence, and knowledge of our gifts and belonging as Indigenous people; increase access to nutritious food, water, and opportunities to participate in land-based wellness activities; and sustain interconnections with human and other-than-human relations.
