Action

Traditional people of Indian nations have interpreted the two roads that face the light-skinned race as the road to technology and the road to spirituality. We feel that the road to technology…. has led modern society to a damaged and seared earth. Could it be that the road to technology represents a rush to destruction, and that the road to spirituality represents the slower path that the traditional native people have traveled and are now seeking again? The earth is not scorched on this trail. The grass is still growing there.
– Algonquin Elder, William Commanda

 

When MMAMR offers educational events, we charge a fee that covers our costs to bring an Indigenous speaker who can provide us with insight into the history of the relationship between Indigenous and non Indigenous people in Canada.  Any income from these events that exceeds our costs –e.g. honorarium and travel costs for our speakers, we donate to a healing and reconciliation project of the speakers choice.  This has included Plenty Canada’s Cross Cultural Program, the Ardoch Nation cultural activities, the Pikwakanagan Cultural Centre, the Indigenous Residential Schools Suvivors Society and the Children of the  Shingwauk Alumni Association.

More recently, we have undertaken a major project to create a space to learn about and celebrate the Seven Grandfather Teachings  also known as the Seven Gifts. 

Tax deductible donations to support this project can be made here. You can also make a donation by cheque.  Please make this out to St. Paul’s Anglican Church, put “Seven Grandfather Teachings” on the subject line and mail it to the MMAMR treasurer:

Note: MMAMR is not an incorporated charity.  St. Paul’s holds our funds in trust and provides charitable receipts for donations to our work.
