Description
Discover how nature has inspired Indigenous culture. Led by an Indigenous historian, on this walk we’ll identify native plants and hear about their importance to Indigenous traditions. Miziwe Biik functions as an Employment and Training Centre for the Indigenous community in Toronto. Founded in 1991, the Training Centre received its name from Elder Jim Wendigo of the Nigigoonsiminikaaning First Nation. Its name represents when a stone is dropped into a body of water and creates a ripple. That ripple travels outward impacting the entire body of water. Miziwe Biik wants to be the ripple touching the entire community.
