Welcoming Miskomini-giizis
Aaniin News River readers!
Last week saw some awesome Indigenous presence at Collision 2023. For several of our team members who attended, it’s time to get back to work with the renewed energy that comes from new connections and inspiring ideas.
We are happy to welcome the rising of Miskomini-giizis, the strawberry moon, into the sky yesterday. Miskomini-giizis is one of the twelve Ojibwe moons of the year, each with its own unique meaning.
Miskomini-giizis signifies the beginning of great changes, where gentleness and kindness help us pass through the thorns of the raspberry bush to harvest the fruit within.
Watch this video by James Vukelich to learn the correct pronunciation of Miskomini-giizis.
