On Monday May 29, Indigenous Education is inviting all Niagara College staff, faculty, students, alumni and community members to join them for a planting ceremony.
Taking place in the Indigenous Gardens at the Daniel J. Patterson Campus in Niagara-on-the-Lake, the day will begin at 10:30 a.m. with a tobacco tie offering – offering tobacco in the form of a tobacco tie is a custom that is shared by many Indigenous peoples – and will be followed by a free BBQ lunch in the Armoury at 11:30 a.m.
After lunch, guests will be welcomed to the garden before planting the seeds and seedlings while the Niagara Regional Native Centre’s drumming group will sing and drum with the plants to provide them with a positive start.
If you have any questions about the event, please connect with Indigenous Education’s Land-based Programming and Events Coordinator, Aria D’alimonte.
