About
All are welcome to attend a special knowledge sharing for Culture Days. The Barrie Native Friendship Centre invites Grey Cloud (James Carpenter), a Knowledge Keeper to teach us what the importance of traditional practices mean to Indigenous people, and how their culture continues to keep these traditions alive today.
James Carpenter is a recognized Indigenous Traditional Healer and Oshkabewis (Helper). His First Nations Ancestry is from the Anishnaabek/Mississauga First Nation of Alderville, Chippewa ancestry from the Traditional territory around the Great Lakes, Oneida ancestry from Upper New York State, and the Cree Nation from the shores of James Bay. He continues to reclaim his Anishnaabek/Chipewyan and Cree languages. James specializes in providing Indigenous Traditional Healing Services and Sacred Indigenous Ceremonies to children, families, and communities.
