In honour and celebration of both Indigenous History Month and Pride Month, the Indigenous Health Learning Lodge (IHLL) and the Department of Family Medicine (DFM) welcome you to join us for a morning of cultural sharing through song, storytelling, and poetry. We will be graced by the voices of vocal group ‘Kontirennanoron’ (meaning Women singing precious songs) as they share Rotinonhsonni cultural teachings and songs of creation, water and sustenance. This will be followed by a performance by spoken word artist ‘Kahsenniyo Kick,’ who is deeply embedded in advocacy work across the 2SLGBTQIA+ community.

As part of our commitment to community giving, we will be collecting non-perishable food items that will be collectively donated to the Niwasa Kendaaswin Teg Food Bank in Hamilton. Other donation items are welcomed, such as hygiene items (toothpaste, toothbrush, soap, shampoo, feminine hygiene items, deodorant), pet food (cats and dogs), cleaning items, diapers and wipes, baking items (flour, sugar, oil etc.) and canned and dry goods).
