ORILLIA — A Sunrise Ceremony, flint knapping, wampum belt, teepee, and drum teachings and a truth and reconciliation dialogue were featured at Lakehead University’s June 18 Tipi Raising Gathering at the Orillia campus. The Sunrise Ceremony was led by Beausoleil Elder Trish Monague, the flint knapping by M’Chigeeng First Nation’s Shawn Corbiere, the wampum belt by Chippewas of Georgina Island’s Brian Charles, the teepee and drum teachings and teepee raising by Moose Cree Elder Jimmy Dick, and the truth and reconciliation dialogue by Chippewas of Georgina Island’s Cynthia Wesley-Esquimaux.
