Màmawi means “Together” in the Algonquin language. Ottawa, Canada’s capital city, is located on traditional Algonquin territory. Màmawi:Together is a community initiative of parents, students, community members and corporate supporters working together to bring Indigenous awareness education and reconciliation projects to life in Ottawa, Ontario and beyond to create a more caring, inclusive and equitable community based on greater understanding, compassion and action. To mark Canada’s sesquicentennial year, Màmawi Together is planning a special two-part event as part of this year’s Speaker Series that will focus on the critical role of youth in reconciliation and create a new and more equitable Canada based on greater understanding, appreciation and action. The May 11 panel will feature the Hon. Senator Murray Sinclair and
CBC host and TRC Honorary Witness, Shelagh Rogers as speakers. Our Aim
Through civic action and education, we want to create caring and inclusive communities based on greater understanding, knowledge and respect with particular emphasis on a movement for Canada to heal from our Indian Residential School past.
