SUMMARY:Learning gathering on unmarked burials
DESCRIPTION:Our Sacred Responsibilities: learning from the Unmarked Burials report and challenging settler denial. \nAll people of all backgrounds welcome to this day-long learning gathering\, open to Indigenous and non-Indigenous people. We will focus somewhat on the United Church’s responsibilities\, but all backgrounds are welcome as a full part of the day\, and we will not focus only on the United Church. \nTogether we will learn about the recent report on unmarked burials; explore what reparations means; learn about the problem of settler denialism; and practice together how to challenge it. Speakers and knowledge keepers will help us\, and all who come are full participants in helping each other and our communities create a good path forward. \nCommunity\, prayer\, ceremony\, and cultural supports will be part of our day. A separate support space is also available to First Nations\, Métis and Inuit\, respecting that this is a hard topic. \nPractical details\nPlease click here to register. Registration is free but required\, so we can plan for meals.  \nThe full reports from the Office of the Special Interlocutor on Unmarked Burials are available here. (They’re long\, which is one of the reasons we’re offering this learning space.) \n Click here for a poster to share with your community . You can also use the image at the top of this page. \nResource people: Dr Raven Sinclair;  Sara Stratton\, Reconciliation and Justice Animator at the General Council of the United Church; elders TBC. \nPlan for our day: 9:30 gathering and coffee; program begins at 10:00AM; we will finish no later than 4:00PM. Our day will include (among other things): prayer and ceremony; an overview of key parts of the report on unmarked burials; reflection from a survivor; what do we and the report mean by “reparations”; what is settler denial\, and how can we challenge it? \nOur space: The building is fully accessible\, and we will be using mics to assist those with hearing needs. Smudging and medicines will be part of our day. There is some parking on site\, and transit a block away. Lunch and snacks included. \nTravel costs for First Nations\, Métis\, and Inuk participants will be covered. \nOrganized by Indigenous Ministries and Justice of the United Church of Canada\, and by Living Skies Regional Council\, UCC. Thank you to Station 20 West for hosting.

SUMMARY:Living Skies is invited to a traditional feast June 4 in Regina
DESCRIPTION:  \nWe the Board of Regina Native Outreach Ministry invite the people of Living Skies Regional Council to participate in a Traditional Feast we would like to hold for United Church members. It is meant as a thank you to all those who have supported our ministry over the years.  We are asking your participation as we can not do it alone. \nThere may be some traditional teachings during the feast.  Our leading Elder will be Kokum Bea (Beatrice Laframboise).  I Rev. Deb have chosen Kokum Bea as it is my belief our woman were once the leaders in our communities before colonization\, Kokum Bea agrees with me that as woman we need to take back what was taken from our people in various areas of our Traditional Ways. \nThe Feast: June 4\, 2022 @ 1:00pm \nWhere:      Wascana Park across from Saskatchewan Museum \nWhat is a Traditional Feast?\nA Traditional feast is a celebration of various important events within a community: \nthe birth of a child \nthe death of a person \nthe anniversary of the death of a person (held 4 years in a row after the death\, the 4th year includes a give away) \nthe accomplishment of a person or the community (we have accomplished much with your support) \nWhat does a Traditional Feast entail? \nThe gathering of a community (you & us)\, all in the community come together with food and ceremony lead by an Elder. The food is prepared by the women of the community\, it is laid out by the men of the community. \nCallout to the men\nWe need 9 men from the church communities to be servers of the food. There are certain details these men need to know in the duties as server. Please send me names from your community so I can meet with them at least a week before the feast to give instruction. (306) 519-7840 or glammergirl@live.com \nA word to the women\nWomen\, please wear a long skirt that reaches between your knees and ankles or down to your ankle\, it doesn’t necessarily have to be a ribbon skirt. It is important that if you sit on the ground in your skirt that you either sit with your legs straight out or both turned to the side. do not sit with your legs crossed.  The Old Lady (great-grandmother) taught my sisters and I that. If a woman sits with her legs crossed she is opening herself to evil/bad things. If you are Two Spirit or LBGTQIA you are invited to wear a skirt or not as you wish\, and to choose where you sit. \nFoods Needed\nNo pork allowed \nSoup: 6-8 pots \nBannock: if you know how to make feel free to bring it. I will likely make both oven and frybread \nWild Berries: saskatoons\, raspberries\, blueberries\, cooked\, I will try get chokecherries and cook them \nFruit: Apples\, Oranges\, Bananas (possibly 2 boxes of each) \nBig Bowls of Canned Fruit: Mixed\, Peaches\, Pears\, Mandarin Oranges \nCrackers: 6-8 boxes \nCandies: For the Children\, to be all put in a bin to pass out \nTea: A few pots \nBottled Water or canned pop any flavor \nThere a few traditional dishes also\, I will get those together \nPlease feel free to call or email me if you have questions \nRev. Deb Anderson-Pratt\, (306) 519-7840 or glammergirl@live.com
