The collective proposes to host knowledge gatherings in Thunder Bay, Fort Francis, Quetico Park and Peterborough to learn about Ojibwe ways of knowing, being, and relating to land. In addition, the collective will produce a short film and works of art about the gatherings, which will culminate in two art exhibitions to share with the extended community in T’karonto. The artwork will focus on land stewardship, medicine teachings, language revival, cultural teachings/awareness between Indigenous and non-Indigenous communities, and land-based knowledge.
