Fabulous evening at the Detroit Historical Museum yesterday, it was great to meet and chat with so many educators in the metro area!
I love sharing my Anishinaabe culture and providing appropriate educational resources and materials 🤗 I'll post the QR codes for those online resources in the comments for those who weren't able to attend or didn't get the chance to talk with me.
Miigwech! Thank you!

Great resources! I highly recommend the Manoomin curriculum enhancement unit 😁.

These engaging units integrate learning across Arts, Health & Physical Education, Language, Science & Technology, Social Studies, and History to create meaningful, cross-curricular experiences.

Rooted in Indigenous perspectives, students explore Indigenous identity, regalia, art, storytelling, and land-based learning—including harvesting, canoeing, plants and trees, and fishing—building knowledge, connection, and pride in culture. 🌿

As the first berries of summer ripen, we welcome the Strawberry Moon and the return of ode’imin—the “heart berry.” In Anishinaabe teachings, strawberries remind us of love, connection, and the importance of caring for our hearts in every sense: physically, emotionally, mentally, and spiritually.

This season invites us to gather with loved ones and reconnect with relationships that sustain us. Just as strawberries are often the first berries to appear after winter, they remind us that renewal, healing, and joy can return after difficult seasons.

May this moon bring opportunities to nurture community, practice kindness to ourselves and others, and walk forward with good hearts. 🍓
