Currently WAVAW, in collaboration with the Squamish Nation, as well as many Aboriginal community organizations, multicultural organizations, women’s anti-violence organizations and other community participants, request support for a smudge ceremony of the DTES.
The smudging of the territory which is meant to be a very large event will be guided by elders and medicine people from all over Canada that live in the area. This is a gathering of people from all nations to pray together for all women from the four sacred races and to smudge the DTES.
It is very important that people from all four corners of the earth come to share in this ceremony. The assistance of the Asian community, the black community and the white community is requested; this is the traditional way of honouring the medicine wheel. The teachings of the medicine wheel say that when everyone prays and ceremony together real healing begins.
This ceremony is meant to rid any negative energy from the territory. It will be an honour to have Aboriginal brothers and sisters lead this event for the people of Turtle Island with the support of all other nations. The event is to honour women and to pray for the people that they might take their rightful place on Turtle Island and that the clan mothers and women might be honoured as leaders and sacred life givers.
When: Thursday, Dec 6th @ 11h00 - 13h00
Where: The Four Corners of Main and Hastings
Cost: Free!
