Listuguj, a Mi\u2019gmaw community in Gespe\u2019gewa\u2019gi (present-day Gaspe Penninsula of Quebec) hosted a mawiomi (gathering) \u2018Honouring our Land\u2019 as part of nation (re)building on March 21-23. \u00a0Approximately two hundred people took part in this gathering, including elected leaders, hereditary leadership from the Mi\u2019gmaq Grand Council, Elders, academics, delegates from Tribal Councils, Mi\u2019gmaq youth and community members. \u00a0 Highlights at the mawiomi include a keynote address from Dr. Pam Palmater, Mi\u2019gmaq lawyer, author and activist; presentations by Gji-Geptin Antle Denny of the Grand Council and Jaime Battiste, Treaty Education Lead in Nova Scotia; workshops (with Youth and community); and facilitated discussions to develop a protocol on Moose Harvesting reflective of Mi\u2019gmaq ways of knowing and practices.<\/p>\n

Amongst other activities, the mawiomi included three small and large group facilitated discussions amongst all participants. Community facilitator\/note takers engaged the small groups in conversations, and together captured (some of) their experiences and stories on paper and as part of oral collective meaning-making process. These conversations culminated in an oral, and written, acceptance of a Proclamation on Moose Harvesting reflective of Mi\u2019gmaq laws, including the concept and practice of Netugulimg. The practice of Netugulimg represents a sacred agreement with the environment and all of its inhabitants.\u00a0 Also, from the outset, we sought to involve Mi\u2019gmaq youth in meaningful ways by working with teachers and administrators at the local (on Reserve) school, Alaqsite\u2019w Gitpu School. The mawiomi participants joined the school for their siggw (spring) celebrations, and Palmater delivered her keynote address at the school with the mawiomi participants and Grades 7 and 8 students, and their teachers in attendance.<\/p>\n

Along with a team of Mi\u2019gmaq people,\u00a0 PhD candidate Amy Chamberlin<\/strong> had the honour of taking part in the conceptualization, organization, and delivery of the \u2018Honouring our Land\u2019 mawiomi. \u00a0This forum on nation building animates ways that Indigenous nationhood is about diversity of voices; building relationships; making space for stories, ceremonies, and songs; and taking action. The mawiomi deepened my awareness of present-day expressions of Indigenous resurgences, moving beyond shallow forms of reconciliation. \u00a0Wela\u2019lioq ms\u2019t wen!\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n

\u00a0**Under the supervision of Dr. Jennifer Henderson, and committee members Drs. Sophie Tamas and Paula Sherman (Trent University), Amy Chamberlin is working on a dissertation project entitled \u201cRemembering Indian Day Schools: Looking Beyond Reconciliation as a \u2018National Hug\u2019\u2019.<\/em><\/p>\n
