Indigenous youth in Ottawa are partnering with Assembly of Seven Generations to strengthen their connection to culture and the land within an urban setting. Through activities like drumming circles, hide tanning, and round dances, youth are reclaiming traditional knowledge while co-creating a community garden that addresses food insecurity and fosters cultural resilience.
