The Manomin Project

Happy National Indigenous Peoples Day! 🌿 Today, we come together to honour and celebrate the diverse cultures, histories, and contributions of Indigenous peoples across Canada. It's a day to embrace the richness of Indigenous traditions and deepen our understanding.

Let's take this opportunity to learn from Indigenous voices, stories, and knowledge and explore Indigenous art, literature, and music. Engage in respectful conversations, amplify Indigenous voices, and support Indigenous-led initiatives in your community.

National Indigenous Peoples Day is a reminder of our collective responsibility to foster reconciliation, understanding, and respect. By acknowledging the past, we can create a more inclusive and equitable future.

So, on this special day, let's learn, appreciate, and take action. Together, we can build bridges of understanding and celebrate the invaluable contributions of Indigenous peoples 🧡

Introducing Autumn Perry! 🌿 Autumn joined the Manomin Project earlier this year as a Research Assistant, bringing a wealth of knowledge and passion to our team. With a Bachelor's degree in Anthropology and History from the University of Guelph, Autumn is now pursuing her Master's degree in Public Issues Anthropology with a specialization in One Health.

Autumn's research focuses on cultural responses to environmental change, mainly focusing on resource sustainability. Through the lens of One Health, she explores the interconnectedness of the environment, animals, and humans, seeking to understand the complex relationships and their impacts on culture and foodways.

As a dedicated Research Assistant, Autumn plays a vital role in transcribing historical documents, contributing to preserving and disseminating knowledge about Anishinaabe's foodways and traditions. Her expertise and commitment greatly enhance our work at the Manomin Project.

We are thrilled to have Autumn on our team, and we look forward to the valuable insights and contributions she will bring to our ongoing projects! 🌱
