CHI-MIIGWETCH THANK YOU MERCI

We would like to extend a special chi-miigwetch, to the Elders, and the knowledge keepers who helped guide Miskwaadesi. As always, good intentions, and good thoughts, really do make incredible things happen.

​

This project would not have been possible without the help of an incredibly dedicated group of volunteers, donors and community partners who put their energy and heart into Miskwaadesi. The groups and people listed below all contributed to the plantings and beautiful touches to the landscape you see.

 

Miskwaadesi shows that when you do things with good intentions and with heart, it all comes together in incredible ways.

Chi-miigwetch to Leo deLoyde for donating so much time to help ensure that Miskwaadesi was finished the way it was envisioned.

Chi-Miigwetch to the Heritage Gardeners and Trees for Nipissing, Eagle Tree, Sustainable Canadore and all the tree planters, the cedars are beautiful and watching them grow in a space like this is a wonderful gift for the residents of the city.

Chi-miigwetch to Shanan King of the Butterflyway Project for the incredible amount of energy and countless hours of hard work of making the garden come together. Her wealth of knowledge and connections were a big part of ensuring that missing plants be returned to their original landscape.

Chi-Miigwetch to Evelyn McLeod of Nipissing First Nation for translating and explaining many of the nuances of Anishinaabemowin that ties the language to land, and the people.

Chi-Miigwetch to Don Chretien, of Nipissing First Nation for providing our Miskwaadesi logo.
