ABOUT REAWAKENING ALL OUR RELATIONS
This is a unique Indigenous-led and specially programmed weekend to engage in learning and reflection, sport and guided walks in nature, presented by local Indigenous artists, storytellers and knowledge keepers. Set within the beautiful landscape of the Niagara Escarpment and Carolinian forest, families can choose from several different program offerings over the weekend that bring them closer to our roots, reflecting on Indigenous histories, knowledges and futures here in Niagara. Proceeds from this weekend will support the Indigenous cultural programming within Niagara.
