🔍Relatives! 🔍 Have you seen our missing beadwork? On the weekend of Oct 18 the attached beadwork was taken from a vehicle during a workshop in Point Douglas. These pieces of art were created by community members as teaching tools around STBBI`s – they are very unique pieces that illustrate the cellular structures of common STBBIs, Covid, HIV and more!
If you see our beadwork, please share any information via text to 431-338-6640 or they can be returned to the Mino Pimatisiwin Sexual Wellness Lodge at 102-765 Main Street. Chii miigwech for your help!

This last weekend, youth from six of our programs gathered for a day of buffalo teachings and worked hands-on to process a buffalo hide together. 🦬💕
Guided by the spirit of the buffalo that day, it began with a Pipe Ceremony, while elders were present to share teachings about the importance of being on the land and staying connected to our culture. In addition to working with the buffalo hides, the day featured setting up two tipis, a sacred fire, and a scavenger hunt that encouraged the youth to explore and engage with their surroundings.
