The Zibi Project & Pikwàkanagàn
Come and learn more about this unique development project in Ottawa-Gatineau. Representatives of the Memengweshii Council
and Windmill Development Group will be on hand Saturday and Sunday during the Powwow to tell you more about Zibi, a unique
community in the heart of the National Capital Region. Zibi represents a new partnership with the Algonquin-Anishinabe
Nation. Chief and Council of Pikwàkanagàn First Nation have signed a Letter of Intent with Windmill, and will be working closely
with the community to make connections to Zibi every step of the way. This is your chance to ask questions and to learn about
ways you can be involved. Stop by our booth and say Kwe!
A new model of reconciliation -· Zibi will be the most environmentally and socially sustainable community in the world.
· Windmill Development Group will be developing this 37-acre property, which is located in the heart of the Algonquin-Anishinabe
territory, along the riverbanks in downtown Gatineau and on parts of Chaudière and Albert Islands in Ottawa.
· Windmill is committed to the meaningful engagement and long-term prosperity of Algonquin Anishinabe People. Through arts,
culture, jobs, training, youth mentorships, and the formal recognition that the site is on unceded Algonquin territory, Zibi will be a
meaningful and authentic manifestation of the Algonquin Nation in the heart of Canada's Capital.
· Currently, the property is in a highly deteriorated state: contaminated, fenced-in, paved over and abandoned it

Pikwakanagan in Search of Foster Parents
Dear Parents/Guardians:
We are currently in search of approved Aboriginal foster
parents, or individuals who are willing to take the training to
become a foster parent.
This September brings some further changes to our Native
language program. In hopes of making this option available to
more students, a component of Native language will be taught
this year through Native arts. The program, called Algonquin
Language, Culture and Arts, is open to both Native and
non-Native students in Grades 7 & 8 who want to learn a
Native language and develop a better understanding of the
culture of which that language forms part.
In the Native arts class, visual arts, dance, and music will be
instructed through the Algonquin language with a focus on the
use of language in the classroom in relevant contexts and for
relevant purposes. This program will be taught by Michele Gaudry
and will take place at the same time as the regular Arts class is
scheduled.
If you would like to sign your son/daughter up for Algonquin
Language, Culture and Arts, please complete the form below and
return it to the school no later than Tuesday, September 8,
2015, after which no late forms will be accepted. Please note
that there are a limited number of spaces available in this
program. Also, the expectation is that if your child signs up for this
program, they will continue for the full school year. Those
students already enrolled in Native language will automatically be
enrolled in this class so there is no need for you to complete the
form below.
Foster parents work together with Pikwakanagan Child &
Family Services/ Family & Children’s Services of Renfrew
County staff to develop a plan for each child in care. The ideal
plan is usually to reunite a young person with his or her
family. When a reunion is not possible, the plan may require
long-term foster care.
Foster families play an essential role in the child's daily life.
The stable and caring home environment that foster families
provide helps encourage healthy growth and development.
If you are interested in this ever rewarding opportunity and
would like more information please contact:
Hilda Tennisco, Supervisor Pikwakanagan Child & Family
Services 613-625-2173

The visit begins with “behind the scenes” in the craft
workshop with a wonderful hands-on experience with fur and
leather. Discussions emphasize both traditional and modern
methods of hunting and gathering, conservation and the
environment. Natural materials such as bark, sweet grass,
horsehair, and porcupine quills are also displayed. Native
craft work in progress may be viewed on weekdays.
The main gallery highlights unique and rare art and crafts
from First Nations across North America. The impressive wall
of masks and British Columbian art is a two-storey testament
to the depth and breadth of Native diversity. While you can
purchase art and souvenirs of every description at the
Whetung Gallery, some of the beadwork, fossils, and
memorabilia in the museum are not for sale at any price.
When the tour is officially over visitors are encouraged
to stay and explore for as long as they wish.

Welcome Youth & Elder for History Project
Council is pleased to announce our successful candidates for
the Algonquin Cultural Heritage Project for 2015. Most of
you know Ritchie Sarazin who has always lived in our
community, and who served on Council for a number of
years. Our other selection is Sarah Yankoo, a new member
of our community, who is a descendant of respected Elder
Sarah Lavalley. We are happy that our long term dream of
having staff to record our community’s history has finally
been made possible; this project is funded entirely by a grant
from the New Relationship Fund of Ontario’s Aboriginal
Affairs that was submitted by the Algonquins of Ontario on
behalf of all of us. Please join us in welcoming Ritchie and
Sarah, and helping them to make history.
The Algonquin Cultural Heritage Project Assistants will
schedule and conduct interviews with Algonquin Elders and
members within their community to collect evidence of local
and territorial history. This will include documenting family
stories, local legends, and personal experience accounts
relative to cultural heritage subjects. These recollections and
storytelling are invaluable resources to bridge the gap
between scientific knowledge and cultural heritage, and to
reconnect current and future generations of Algonquins to
their heritage.
If you would like to be interviewed, please contact:
Ritchie at 613-625-2245 or [email protected]
Request for Art
A Speaker of the Legislative Assembly with Métis ancestry of
the Legislative Assembly of Ontario would like to bring
forward and celebrate the experiences of the province’s
varied peoples and enhance the rich traditions and heritage
already present at the Legislature with the voices of those
who have not traditionally been heard.
They are launching a project to designate two adjoining
committee rooms in the Legislative Building as a space to
honour Ontario’s Aboriginal peoples. They hope is to fill
these rooms with artwork and cultural expressions
from Aboriginal communities.
They are looking for one or two pieces of art to be loaned
to the Legislative Assembly for this project.
“Halo” Women’s Slo-Pitch Team finished in second place at the
2015 National Slo-Pitch Championships
in St. Johns Newfoundland Aug1-4 bring home silver Medals.
They are interested in two-dimensional work such as
paintings, photography or prints as well as other cultural
expressions – for example dream catchers, sculptures, or
culturally significant clothing.
We would like to thank everyone who supported us
on our quest for Silver without you,
we would not have accomplished what we did.
Thank You!
If you would like to assist with this request and have your art
loaned to the Legislative Assembly please contact
Alanna Hein, Executive Assistant at the Council Chambers,
613-625-2800.
