Resiliency Lodge: Engaging in Ceremony

While our virtual programming continues through the Resiliency Lodge——or example, offering 20 workshops with over 800 participants registered this month—we were honoured to host a commemoration ceremony at our Resiliency Lodge in Chelsea, QC, in honour of our Sisters in Spirit.

NWAC’s National Elder, Grandmother Roberta Oshkawbewisens, set up a space at the Chelsea Resiliency to pray and hold circles in honour of our missing and murdered Indigenous women, girls, and gender-diverse people (MMIWG2S). Red dresses were hung in memory of MMIWG2S so we always remember them when we gather in this space.
