About
Join the Grey Highlands and Collingwood Public Libraries as we host Mohawk Grandmother Gail Whitlow and Urban Indigenous woman Jody Harbour of Grandmother's Voice in Circle of HOPE. Together with both communities and the Grandmothers, we will unite for a better understanding of how we move forward from Truth to Reconciliation. This Circle of HOPE will provide a culturally safe environment for all people to come and sit with the truths of our nation's history. HOPE will be inspired by storytelling and sharing Indigenous ways of knowing how to connect to Mother Earth and each other.
Grandmother's Voice is a body of unified Indigenous people creating a safe, secure community that advances education, knowledge, and understanding of Indigenous cultures and practices. All individuals, corporations, and organizations in public, private, and non-profit sectors are welcome to stand shoulder to shoulder with Indigenous Peoples. It is by sharing the knowledge of the Ancestors and their offerings that we discover a new kind of HOPE.
HOPE - How our People Educate is through our Hands Out-reaching Peoples Equity. This serves not only the Original People of our Nation but assists all people and contributes to the self-determination of Indigenous people’s path to the Good Life.
