On June 21, 2017, on the summer solstice & National Aboriginal Day (Canada), Turtle Lodge Elders, four youth torch runners, four water carriers & the drum group Red Shadow Singers from the Original Nations of this land lit a sacred fire at the sacred site of Manitou Api in the centre of the continent. The flame was brought to Winnipeg and the Centennial Flame lit by Elder Dave Courchene, where it will burn in front of the Manitoba Legislative Building for one year, to help inspire the province and the nation. The 2017 Canada Games torch run commenced with this sacred flame in Manitoba, and the sacred fire was brought Friday to light the 2017 Canada Games cauldron. Video created by Patrick Roberge, PRP Inc., for the Canada Games. Acknowledgements to the Elders for their vision & to Barry Mathers for all his hard work in working with the Canada Games & the Turtle Lodge to make this happen.

We stand at a critical moment in history for food and farming. During the last century, our extractive farming practices have contributed to the depletion of nature and brought us to the brink of a planetary emergency, resulting in climate change, catastrophic biodiversity decline and a crisis for public health. With half of our land now used for agriculture, farmers across the globe have become the primary stewards of nature, climate and health. Yet their delivery of public goods requires redesigning our businesses and industries away from systems based on extraction and growth and towards approaches based on the principles of regeneration, sustainability and the circular economy. During this talk, David Potts shares some of things that Morrisons are doing in order to support sustainable food and farming practices and the supermarket’s involvement in the Global Farm Metric coalition. David Potts CBE is the Chief Executive of the British supermarket, Morrisons. He's worked in retail from the age of 14, rising through through the ranks at Tesco before replacing Dalton Philips as Morrisons CEO in 2015. He was awarded a CBE for his services to employment, skills and apprenticeships in retail in 2013. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at https://www.ted.com/tedx

Les gardiens du savoir du National Turtle Lodge Council of Elders and Knowledge Keepers se sont réunis en cérémonie pour rédiger une déclaration sur la COVID-19, ses implications, ses défis et la question des vaccins. L’aîné Dr Dave Courchene commence notre série de vidéos en partageant leur déclaration. Les gardiens du savoir nous encouragent à assumer des responsabilités personnels, à écouter notre propre esprit en recherchant la direction par la prière, les cérémonies et la connexion à la terre, lorsque nous faisons des choix sur notre manière d’agir concernant le COVID et les vaccins. Rejoignez-nous au cours des prochaines semaines, alors que nous partagerons les messages des aînés et des gardiens du savoir de Turtle Lodge sur le COVID-19, les vaccins et la médecine traditionnelle.
