Anni! or Hello in Obijway.  This is the language of the Mississaugas of New Credit First Nations who occupied and then surrendered the land to the Crown in 1805 to which is now where the city of Toronto sits.  As a native born, Canadian who was born and raised in Toronto, I find our true history both important to learn and inspiring as I learn it.  I hope to inspire you also with the incredible knowledge and information about Indigenous Peoples and their Cultures throughout Canada and the Americas in this blog!

I decided to create this blog in an attempt to spread knowledge about Indigenous Peoples and their Cultures, to dispel common stereotypes, and to build positive, strong, lasting relationships among Indigenous Peoples and Non-Indigenous Peoples in the area where you may reside.

My profession is an educator, so I greatly value the importance of spreading information to help bring awareness of truth, to help those make educated conclusions with the right information!

I look forward to you joining my blog and contributing your ideas, comments, opinions and further information you may like to add to generate healthy and challenging conversations!
