Gnaaji-wiinge: Anishnaabe Life Path Project

Funded Amount: $30000
The Gnaaj-wiinge Youth Group has created the Gnaaji-wiinge: Anishinaabe Life Path Resource which is a board game based on the Anishnaabe life path teachings. The group’s goal is to further develop their Gnaaji-wiinge: Anishnaabe Life Path Resource by consulting with, and receiving and applying feedback from youth, Elders, and traditional cultural knowledge keepers. This group also plans to organize and deliver sessions with their board game to youth across Ontario. By doing this, the group strives to promote reconciliation, help Anishinaabe youth connect with their language, traditions, and culture, and help non-Indigenous youth gain a better understanding of Anishnaabe culture and values.
