Mamawe Ota Askihk

An invitation from Rebecca Watson, Keeper of the Centre-Sandy Saulteaux Spiritual Centre

We are looking forward to Mamawe Ota Askihk, July 28-August 1, 2025! Gather with Indigenous and non-Indigenous allies of all ages for a week of hands-on skill sharing. Make friends, braid sweetgrass, learn to bead, make a basket, sing drum songs, eat from the garden, carve soapstone and more.

We would love to have you back if you are able to come. We are reaching out early to give you the lead time that you might need to secure financial support for your registration or travel costs. The registration cost this year will be:

**Please see pricing options on the registration form**

In the past, we have had significant funding that allowed us to reduce the cost of registration for all participants. Currently, we have limited outside funding available for this event.

We encourage you to reach out to your band, church or agency that would support you to attend Mamawe Ota Askihk in 2025. We would be happy to provide a sample schedule, a video of past gatherings to any potential funders or support workers you put us in touch with.

Please let us know:

1. If you are hoping to attend again
2. With how many people in your family or group
3. The name and contact information of the band, church or agency you would like us to supply with information about Mamawe Ota Askihk.

Please share this email with anyone you feel would be interested in joining us for Mamawe Ota Askihk 2025.
