A canoe is built in ceremony, and with intention. This canoe was built to both honour and symbolize community, inclusive of all who have a connection to Algonquin Park – both Indigenous community members and those who work in or visit Algonquin Park. From the very beginning of this project, we knew it was crucial that this canoe build be open to anyone who might be interested in participating, whether they are helping to build the canoe or visiting during the build. While this canoe build was primarily for Indigenous people wanting to learn more about building a canoe, it also offered a tangible and visible way for visitors and staff in Algonquin Park to learn about Algonquin history and culture from us directly, all while making connections and strengthening our relationships with each other.

There are so many incredible books by Indigenous authors! We’ve been compiling an Indigenous book list for a few years now as a resource to share with anyone who might be interested. This list is a continuous work in progress - all suggestions are welcome!

In 2022, Waaseyaa Consulting published the Ethics First: Action-Based Recommendations to Counter Indigenous Homelessness in Hastings County report for Bridge Street United Church on behalf of Hastings County. This report was written with the intention that it is always available for community use, that it will only be used for the benefit of the community - never to cause harm, and that all intellectual property remains that of the contributors.
