Our precious Elders are the heartbeat of our community. Their wisdom strength and resilience and teachings continue to guide and Inspire the future generations. We are honored to walk alongside them and create opportunities that support health, well being and connection to one another. Today our elders are participating in movement exercises as part of our Healthy Living Program, with Lan Gao. These activities promote physical wellness, mobility, balance and social connection while creating space for laughter encouragement and friendship. Our Elders are truly precious. We hold them in the highest regard and are grateful for the knowledge the stories and the love they share with us. We cherish each opportunity to support them, to learn from them and to show them the respect they so richly deserve. Their presence strengthens our community. We love them dearly.

☀️ Join us for an inspiring evening with internationally recognized Anishinaabe speaker, author, educator and language advocate James Vukelich Kaagegaabaw as he shares teachings on Mino-Bimaadiziwin—The Good Life Through Anishinaabe Teachings.

Drawing on the wisdom of the Seven Grandfather Teachings, Anishinaabe language, and traditional knowledge passed down through generations, James will explore how our teachings guide us toward balance, wellness, strong relationships and a deeper connection to our communities and the world around us.

This is a wonderful opportunity for community members, families, educators, and anyone interested in learning more about Anishinaabe culture, language, and ways of living.
