Local #Indigenous peoples of Waterloo Region include (but are not limited to) Anishinaabe Peoples, Neutral Peoples and Haudenosaunee Peoples. 
#Haudenosaunee Peoples (People of the Longhouse) is made up of the Mohawks, Oneidas, Onondagas, Cayugas, Senecas and the Tuscaroras, and was intended as a way to unite the nations and create a peaceful decision making. Haudenosaunee are united by a common goal to live in harmony.
Described as the oldest, participatory democracy on Earth, the Haudenosaunee constitution has inspired many forms of democracy across the world. Law, society & nature are equal partners & each play an important role. The largest reserve in North America is the @SixNationsGR.
I’ll never forget the thrill I felt at the Elders & Traditional Peoples Gathering 2 weeks ago at @TrentUniversity, meeting #Cree actor/artist #MichelleThrush and #Anishinaabe journalist/author @TanyaTalaga, as well as being surrounded by some of the most epic people in my life.
Thrush’s solo performance of #InnerElder wove a beautiful blend of truth, laughter, pain & hope. Got Talaga’s autograph after she spoke about her book, #SevenFallenFeathers, a must-read for folks seeking #truth about how we continue to fail Indigenous youth.
We cannot #reconcile, nor create new relationships, without #truth.
