In June, Powers Workers’ Union generously donate

In June, Powers Workers’ Union generously donated $40,000 to the Woodland Cultural Centre to support the Centre’s programming, museum, and building maintenance. ⁠
⁠
We are honoured to have had the opportunity to work with PWU and their Indigenous Relations Committee on their fundraiser and host them on site for a powerful and emotional day. Nya:węh go:wah for your passion and dedication to supporting WCC! ⁠
⁠
PWU planned a Reconciliation Honour Walk with their staff to get involved. The objective of this walk was to honour the victims and survivors of the Residential School System while raising money for awareness and education in the name of reconciliation. Due to Covid-19, participants walked individually and logged their distance on the Reconciliation Honour Walk website. ⁠
⁠
The goal was to walk a cumulative total of 600 kilometres in honour of the number of kilometres Chanie Wenjack endeavoured to complete when he escaped from the Cecilia Jeffrey Residential School. ⁠
⁠
Are you interested in getting your organization or community involved in a collective fundraising initiative? Our Development team is here to work with you in executing your fundraiser, and we would be honoured to have your support. Contact our Development Coordinator at development@woodlandculturalcentre.ca or 519-759-2650 x 232 to connect. We’re available to answer your questions or brainstorm ideas!

Did you know the Rotinonhsón:ni Confederacy is t

Did you know the Rotinonhsón:ni Confederacy is the oldest living democracy system in the world, and within it, men and women have equal voices? ⁠
⁠
When it was illegal for women to vote, suffragists looked to Rotinonhsón:ni women for inspiration. They saw that Rotinonhsón:ni women had rights to their children, the ability to own land, and autonomy over their own bodies. They were respected as sacred creators of life and protectors of the land. Whereas in Western society, religion forced women to live under the authority of their husbands and didn't allow them independence or an equal voice.⁠
⁠
Within the Rotinonhsón:ni Confederacy, women had full and equal participation in governance and were involved in all major decision-making. They also controlled the economy, as they were responsible for the growth and distribution of food, and they were the ones to make decisions regarding the land. Clan mothers held the responsibility of standing up to chiefs and taking away their titles if they were not fulfilling their duties. They even decided when to send men off to war.⁠
⁠
Suffragists’ vision of equality within Western society and government was very much influenced and built from Rotinonhsón:ni women’s longstanding importance and role within the Confederacy.⁠
⁠
Help us recognize and honour the legacy of the Rotinonhsón:ni women by sharing this post, and make sure to tag us!⁠
