A painted portrait of an Indigenous woman in profile facing left, with long flowing dark hair and three feathers tucked behind her ear. Her skin and shoulders are painted in deep red tones, and she gazes toward a large blue moon in a starry night sky. The style is bold and graphic, with visible brushstrokes and a cosmic, spiritual mood. A watermark reading “Julie Francella” appears across the bottom.

My acrylic on canvas painting was inspired by my ancestral aunt Bamewawagezhikaquay (her Ojibway name) which means Woman of the Sound the Stars Make Rushing Through the Sky

Ojibway-dubbed Star Wars film brings 'a new hope' for endangered language, say cast members #ojibway #starwars

Ontario breaks new ground by letting politicians decide when history will be protected | CBC News In Ontario, where ancient Indigenous burial grounds and village sites lie beneath rapidly expanding suburbs, the government has granted itself powers to bypass archaeological protections, raising fear...

"It doesn't matter if it's the most sacred site known to any First Nation — it simply doesn't matter any longer, because the priority has been given to developers."

Add this to Doug Ford's long history of disrespect for First Nations.

Side-by-side black-and-white photographs of Francis Pegahmagabow, an Ojibwe soldier from Canada known as the most effective sniper of World War I. On the left, he is young and wearing his WWI military uniform with medals pinned to his chest. On the right, he is older, dressed in a suit and tie, again wearing his medals. Text below the photos explains that he had 378 confirmed kills, captured more than 300 enemy soldiers, and spent the rest of his life fighting for Indigenous rights. It notes that he remains the most decorated Indigenous soldier in Canadian history.

Wolverine, you're officially dethroned as most hardcore Canadian ever

#Anishinaabemowin , Ojibwe, or #Ojibway (among other names) is the language spoken by the Anishaabe people. It's a member of the #Algonquin language family and is spoken in #Canada from Quebec through Ontario, and into Manitoba and parts of Saskatchewan.

The #Peguis First Nation has members of #Ojibwe and Cree descent. Ojibwe, aka #Ojibway or Anishinaabemowin (among other names), belongs to the #Algonquian language family and is characterized by a series of dialects with local names and frequently local writing systems

A resurgence in First Nations language will be a wonderful thing for Canada. More vocabulary should percolate into common use.

A formal portrait of Mark man wearing a traditional feathered headdress in red, white, black, and blue. He is dressed in a ribbon-patterned shirt and looks directly into the camera with a calm, dignified expression. The background is dark and neutral, highlighting his presence and regalia.

Julie stands while wearing a vibrant red ribbon skirt with multiple colorful horizontal ribbons in purple, pink, yellow, blue, and green tones. She's dressed in a burgundy top and a beaded choker, with long wavy dark hair.

Last week I was home and got to wear the ribbon skirt we made by hand this winter, in my colors, to ceremony.

Our Nation held elections too. Sending good energy & congratulations to Mark, re-elected as Chief, & to Trapper!

Miigwetch for your continued leadership.

I am being carried on great winds across the sky.

🌾 First, #Windsor: $36.2M committed to #Ojibway National Urban Park is a win, but the Senate needs to pass the legislation

🌳 Next, #Guelph: City Council voted in principle in favour of a national urban park on the former Ontario Reformatory Lands, but Ontario need to hear us next

Ojibway National Urban Park - Nature Connectivity Project | Wildlands League Dear Senators,     Please pass Bill C-248, an act to amend the Canada National Parks Act (Ojibway National Urban Park of Canada).     Thanks to you, Bill C-248 has passed second reading in the Senate ...

The final Senate vote is coming up and there are no guarantees Ojibway will be established if Bill C-248 isn’t passed during this Parliament. We need to keep the momentum up. Support permanent legal protection for Ojibway!
