Minaajim: Good Stories from Curve Lake First Nation Thanks be to plants and smaller animals As told by Doug Williams to Julie Kapyrka In the last story, I spoke about what we ate from the land. I would like to take a moment to acknowledge some of the smaller animals that really sustained us when the government was starving us after the 1923 Williams Treaties. The government banned us from hunting big game or fishing in the wintertime. We always got our food from the land. Suddenly we were not allowed to procure this type of food and many of us went hungry. We had to sustain ourselves with other animals. I would like to thank AMIK (the beaver), WAZHASHK (the muskrat), KAAGJIISH (the groundhog), and GAAG (the porcupine) for helping my people survive back then. Some people would consider these animals inedible, but they were part of our food sources during these tough times. They kept us alive. MIIGWECH (thank you). But today I’m going to talk about plants we used as food sources. We all know about the more prominent ones like MANOOMIN (wild rice), but there are many other less-known plants that were often used when in season. They were there to help us and at the right times when it was hard to get a variety of food. In April to May we started with wild leeks and fiddleheads. We would go pick them in the hardwood bush, and enjoyed them in a variety of ways. We put them in soups and stews, and often in omelettes. There’s nothing better than a duck-egg omelette with leeks and fiddleheads. Mmm-mm. We used to trade MZISE-MIIJIM ENHS (fiddleheads) with settlers and farmers for other types of foods. We gathered BAGWAJI-ZHIGAAGAWINZH (wild onion) on occasion. It was tedious to dig and it was very small, but we used it. We spent a lot of time on the shorelines of what is now known as the Trent-Severn Waterway. We ate a lot of water plants like the tuber of the arrowhead plant which gave us a small potato-like starch. I remember digging around in the muck for these foods. We would harvest the new young shoots of PAKWESHK (the cattail plant). They were the tastiest; or sometimes we’d harvest the older plant. You had to cut them at their base in the cold water—it wasn’t easy. For the older shoots you would have to peel away the outer layers to get at the inner shoots. But in the spring you could just eat the new shoots.

Minaajim: Good Stories from Curve Lake First Nation Thanks be to plants and smaller animals As told by Doug Williams to Julie Kapyrka We would eat it like a boiled vegetable, or dry it and pound it down to a flour-like substance, and make a tortilla-like flat bread. It was always a nice treat. Another popular plant edible was WAAWAASGONE-MIIN (the Mayapple). This plant comes out in later June-July. You will first notice it in May when it appears at the bottom of hardwoods like a little umbrella. It produces a succulent fruit like a cross between a kiwi and a mango. It’s really quite nice. There is a sweet liquid in there that is an enjoyable taste you’ll never forget. If you pick enough of them you can make preserves or pies. Today, we are losing that connection to our wild plant foods and in the process losing our connection to the earth. Anishinaabe people love to forage in the bush. It’s an amazing activity. It lowers stress levels, it allows us to enjoy the natural world, and it also allows us the opportunity to give thanks to the spirits of the plants for giving up their lives so we can have life. When we no longer use or give thanks to the plants, they feel they are no longer needed and they go elsewhere . . . but that is another story.

YOU ARE IMPORTANT! Self-Care is important Self-care….. What does that mean to you? It goes back to the old adage of “If you don’t take care of yourself first, you can’t take care of anyone else.” It is important to take care of oneself, a lot of us get to busy with the hustle and bustle of everyday life running here and there, taking care of children, family members and friends. Too busy to take a break, clear our minds and ground ourselves. Taking care of yourself doesn’t cost a lot of money and can easily be done. Here are a few tips and inexpensive ways to take a much needed time out. • •

• • • • • • •

Turn your cell phone or computer off for at least an hour, taking that break from technology not only gives you a free moment it can save on the cost of your everyday bills. Take a walk in the bush or down by the lake, take your shoes off and enjoy the feel of the ground or the water. Water has a healing energy all of its own and walking bare foot can help ground you. Take a 20 minute bath at the end of the day with your favorite bath products, light a candle and soak away your stress and worries. Make your favorite cup of tea and watch the sunset or something you find beauty in. Clean something, cleaning can help you focus, work out your stress and give you a sense of accomplishment Smudge, it is a well-known fact that smudging releases negative energy, can help you stay focused and bring positive energy. Keep a Journal, write down your thoughts and feelings good and bad and let them go. Too many negative thoughts about ourselves is like carrying a brick house. Meditate or do yoga. Take time out with a friend, go for a drive, sit and catch up the best conversation is one filled Come on down to the Health Centre and share your thoughts and ideas on self-care, learn more tips and tricks on how to take care of you. 10 spots available for both men and women’s evenings. Call Marcie at the Health Centre to sign up 705-657-2557

Women’s night September 19th 2016 from 5-7. Go home with a jar of bath salts and start your self-care routine. Men’s night September 26th 2016 from 5-7. Hunting season is fast approaching… Jerky making 101.

Internship- Youth for Water Program (4 positions) 6+ Month Term, beginning September 2016

Deadline to Apply: August 25th, 2016 at 4:30 p.m. The Sacred Water Circle (SWC) and Green Communities Canada (GCC) are looking for Indigenous youth who are interested in learning how to protect, conserve and improve the health of water within the Kawartha Region. Funded by the Ontario Trillium Foundation- this initiative will provide you with an opportunity to learn about water issues, and become involved in water protection and conservation. This intern opportunity is geared towards Indigenous youth between the ages of 18-29, who will be provided with the information they need to bring traditional Indigenous knowledge and science together to help our communities protect and restore our water quality and quantity. With the support of the SWC and GCC, interns will be provided with the necessary skills, training and tools required to become environmental leaders in their communities. Youth will create and coordinate a project geared towards water conservation, including water infrastructure installations that will help harvest rain water and/or create infiltration landscapes to reduce peak storm water volume and repeated flooding. This will work to provide youth with hands-on learning in water protection and be an opportunity to build networks with the local environmental community (Indigenous and non-Indigenous). This experience will also expose the interns to the opportunities for careers working with water, and provide them with hands-on experience to help them move forward in their career.

Project Description Throughout the project interns will be supported by the Project Coordinator, RAIN Community Solutions Project Manager and the SWC Planning Committee, providing training and mentorship to enable the work on chosen community projects for water protection and conservation in local or urban communities.
