Ojibiikaan and the ROM are working on a collaboration on August 18th, 2026

As background, ROM is currently hosting the Crawford Lake: Layers in Time exhibit which explores how Crawford Lake records human impact (from early agriculture from First Nations presence to contemporary impacts of nuclear power) throughout the sediments of the lake.

Ojibiikaan has been land stewards to Crawford Lake since our creation in 2018, rematriating local Indigenous seed varieties and traditional agricultural practices and bringing Indigenous families and children seasonally to the land to reclaim culture and build relationships with the land. Many of you have joined us on these trips over the years.

To bridge relationships, Our board member Paige Kimiksana-Kreps, and ROM representative has invited Ojibiikaan and community to collaborate together for a ROM visit featuring a tour led by ROM staff on August 18th, 2026 . Families will get visits with ancestral belongings (“Artifact tour”) and two workshops from knowledge Indigenous artists and knowledge keepers. Leeane Doxator from Onieda of the Thames and Indigenous Coordinator at Halton Conservation will facilitate Pinch Pot teachings with the community to tie in other aspects of the lake and Jadyn Hardie-Bardie, also known as machiinegunfunnk who is Kanien’keha:ka and Jamaican will facilitate Corn Husk Doll Teachings.

Spots are limited to Indigenous families and community with children 0-6 in the GTA. Register at the link in our bio https://linktr.ee/ojib
