SUMMARY:Paul-Conrad Carignan\, “Forbidden Native Ceremonies” / “Cérémonies autochtones interdites”
DESCRIPTION:In several amendments to the Indian Act\, the federal government reinforced the assimilation of Indigenous people by forbidding their cultural and spiritual ceremonies. Activities we see today at Native gatherings like smudging\, Pipe ceremonies\, sweats lodges\, etc. were legally forbidden until 1951 when the federal restrictions were finally lifted. This PowerPoint presentation reviews these spiritual practices and questions why this attempt at cultural genocide was allowed to happen. (Service Leader: Gudrun Brand. Musician: Kevin Jensen. Refreshments: Hélène & Peter Cunningham.) \nPaul-Conrad Carignan is a federally-recognized metis of Anishnabe (Algonquin) and Huron-Wendat heritage. He has been on the Red Road of learning and sharing his Indigenous heritage for over 25 years. A Franco-Ontarian by birth\, he presently lives in the Eastern Townships. \n~~~~~~~~~~ \nDans plusieurs amendements à la Loi sur les Indiens\, le gouvernement fédéral a renforcé l’assimilation des peuples autochtones en interdisant leurs cérémonies culturelles et spirituelles. Les activités que nous voyons aujourd’hui lors de rassemblements amérindiens\, comme la purification\, les cérémonies du calumet\, les pavillons de sueurs\, etc.\, étaient interdites par la loi jusqu’en 1951\, date à laquelle les restrictions fédérales ont finalement été levées. Cette présentation PowerPoint examine ces pratiques spirituelles et s’interroge sur les raisons pour lesquelles cette tentative de génocide culturel a été autorisée. (en anglais)(Responsable du service : Gudrun Brand. Musicien : Kevin Jensen. Rafraîchissements : Hélène & Peter Cunningham.) \nPaul-Conrad Carignan est un métis reconnu par le gouvernement fédéral\, du patrimoine anishnabe (Algonquin) et huron-wendat. Il est sur le sentier rouge de l’apprentissage et du partage de son héritage autochtone depuis plus de 25 ans. Franco-ontarien de naissance\, il vit actuellement dans les Cantons de l’Est.

SUMMARY:Ms. Awa Ba & Jonathon Ellison\, “Water for Women: A Woman's Perspective”
DESCRIPTION:Ms. Awa Ba\, from la Casamance\, Senegal\, is one of our community organizers helping to train women at the village level. She has just arrived in Canada to receive more training in organic agriculture over the next 3 months. Awa’s talk in French\, and translated\, will describe how rural women are able to achieve their own economic independence only through a better understanding on our part of the many barriers they face. This understanding then opens the garden door where Food Security\, Water\, Solar Energy and little boys learning to respect little girls\, can combine to create sustainable change. (bilingual) Awa’s talk will be followed by a brief update about Water for Woman by Jonathon Ellison. \n  \n~~~~~~~~~~~~ \nMme Awa Ba\, de la Casamance au Sénégal\, est l’une de nos organisatrices communautaires qui aide à former les femmes au niveau des villages. Elle vient d’arriver au Canada pour recevoir plus de formation en agriculture biologique au cours des trois prochains mois. L’exposé d’Awa en français\, traduit\, expliquera comment les femmes rurales ne peuvent accéder à leur propre indépendance économique que si nous comprenons mieux les nombreux obstacles auxquels elles sont confrontés. Cette compréhension ouvre ensuite la porte du jardin où la sécurité alimentaire\, l’eau\, l’énergie solaire et les petits garçons apprenant à respecter les petites filles peuvent se combiner pour créer un changement durable. (bilingue) L’exposé d’Awa sera suivi d’une brève mise à jour par Jonathon Ellison sur Water for Woman.
