Kettle and Stony Point First Nation is excited to be part of this collaborative project focused on protecting nature, advancing reconciliation, and strengthening connections between people and the land! 🌱
How are we involved?
Kettle and Stony Point First Nation is one of five First Nations partnering with Parks Canada and other land administrators to help shape the vision for the proposed park. Our involvement provides an opportunity to support Indigenous leadership and stewardship, protect important natural areas, and help create meaningful opportunities for future generations.
Why is this project important?
The proposed National Urban Park in the Windsor-LaSalle area will bring together significant natural areas, including the Ojibway Prairie Complex, which is home to rare Tallgrass Prairie and Black Oak Savannah ecosystems, diverse wildlife, and many species at risk. These lands also hold important cultural and historical significance within the traditional territory of the Three Fires Confederacy.
By working together, partners aim to conserve nature, support reconciliation, and strengthen connections between people and the environment.
What could the park offer?
Although we are still in the early planning stages, potential opportunities include environmental education centres, nature trails, land-based learning initiatives, and environmental stewardship activities. These ideas could create meaningful opportunities for our communities to connect with the land, share knowledge, and learn from the natural environment.
Now we need your help! What should we name the park?
We invite Kettle and Stony Point First Nation community members to share name suggestions that reflect the land, our history, our teachings, the plants and animals, and our connections to the territory.
📧 Email your suggestions to:
[email protected]
Please include a brief explanation of why you chose the name and what it represents. Anishinaabemowin names and words are welcome, along with their meanings and spelling, if known.
Please note: Kettle and Stony Point First Nation will submit suggested names on behalf of our community as part of the park naming process. Our partnering First Nations will also be submitting their own suggestions. While we hope to see our community’s ideas represented, submitting a name does not guarantee it will be selected. Once the suggestions have been submitted and the naming process moves forward, we will share updates as they become available.
💚 We are excited to be part of this project and look forward to hearing your ideas! Together, we can help shape a vision that honours the land, supports future generations, and reflects the significance of this special area.
Miigwech for helping us find a meaningful name!
