At Misiway, we recognize the essential role Elders play in preserving traditional knowledge and guiding the health of our communities. This past month, we hosted a special Elders’ Gathering — an event filled with stories, teachings, laughter, and connection.
The day included traditional meals, drumming, and a sharing circle where Elders spoke about the importance of culture, community, and healing. Younger generations were invited to listen and learn, fostering intergenerational respect and understanding.
Our stories carry medicine. When we share them, we pass on strength.
– Elder, Elders’ Gathering
Events like this remind us that wellness is not only about physical health — it’s also about connection to culture, spirit, and each other. We are grateful to our Elders for continuing to walk with us and share the knowledge that strengthens our collective path forward.
