SUMMARY:Celebrating Solstice Together - Mississippi Mills
DESCRIPTION:To celebrate National Indigenous People’s Day\, Mississippi Mills All My Relations is again holding a Solstice community event in the spirit of the late\, highly celebrated\, Algonquin Elder William Commanda\, whose life’s work embraced the belief in a circle of all nations and culture of peace. \nGrandfather William was Chief of the Kitigan Zibi Algonquin Anishinabeg Reserve for 20 years and served as a globally renowned spiritual leader for the remainder of his 97 years. He received many accolades from both the Indigenous and non-Indigenous communities. He was appointed as carrier of three sacred wampum belts of historical significance (The 1800’s Sharing Belt\, the Jay Treaty Border Crossing Belt\, and the Seven Fires Prophecy Belt)\, and was considered by many to be the “Grand Chief of North America. He was also honoured with the 12th Key to the city of Ottawa\, was given two honorary doctorate degrees\, appointed the Order of Canada\, and received a Lifetime Achievement award from the National Aboriginal Achievement Awards. \nWhat’s Happening: \n8:30 AM – Noon |  Levi Community Centre – Start your day with a pancake breakfast hosted by Ginawaydaganuc Village. In the spirit of the Algonquin teaching that “all things are connected\,” this gathering offers food and community connection.  This event is by donation. \nDuring this time beginning at 10 a.m. Danka Brewer\, a respected Algonquin knowledge keeper from the Shabot Obaadjiwan First Nation\, will generously share stories and teachings suitable for parents and children.  With years of experience in cultural education\, she brings warmth\, wisdom\, and a deep care for the well-being of future generations. \n4PM – 8PM | Riverfront Park – Visit the Seven Gifts installation for an afternoon of stories\, music\, dancing\, crafts\, and culture. Highlights include: \n\nIndigenous storytelling\nOpportunities for discussion & reflection\nLive music\nJingle dance performance\nCultural displays and artisan crafts\nA community barbecue (please note: this is a paid meal)\n\nWe’ll close the evening by watching the sunset together in the spirit of peace\, reflection\, and shared intention.
