Orange Shirt Day/National Day for Truth and Reconciliation

 


Orange Shirt Day/National Day for Truth and Reconciliation, Lamoureux Park, Cornwall, September 30 2026. Social dance, open to everyone. I don't know the name of the drum but they were very good. A woman in a hijab joined in. Multiculturalism at its finest.

Calls to Action of the Truth and Reconciliation Commission of Canada - full list here 


Lacrosse players - the game was developed by Haudenosaunee and other First Nations.






'Gutch' Salinas of  Kakhwí:io foods in Akwesasne shows me how flint (hard) corn is prepared. The grains are boiled in water with wood ashes, which produces an alkaline reaction in a process called Nixtamalization that softens the corn and releases nutrients. It can be pounded in a mortar into a flour that can be made into a mush with other ingredients like beans, or the grains of corn can be eaten as is.
