indigenous Native American artist led workshops being facilitated by Anishinaabe Theater Exchange. </span></i><i><span style="font-size:10.0pt">If you are able to help promote this special event please do as Facebook has rejected our paid adverts for the
reason being that the series addresses social issues. Intercultural Roots is a UK based not-for-profit charity with limited resources, all help with spreading the word about this important course is appreciated.</span></i><o:p></o:p></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:10.5pt">The Anishinaabe are one of the largest groups of shared identity among Indigenous Peoples in the United States and Canada. The Anishinaabek extend from northern Canada all the way into the southern United
States. Anishinaabe has many translations, “good people” “kind people” “first people” “beings made out of nothing” “spontaneous beings” “those who live upon the Earth in the right way”.<br>
<br>
This unique workshop series that is being led by indigenous people will introduce patricipants to key elements of the
<b>Anishinaabe Language and Lifeways</b> through the <b>Niizhwaaswi Mishomisag (7 Grandfather Teachings) and Niizhwaaswi Dodemag (7 Clans) </b>as tools for living a good life. This series breaks down how these gifts and responsibilities have the power to enrich
our cultures, personal journeys, and global society.<br>
<br>
Within each workshop you will discover one of the 7 Grandfathers as well as exploring Anishinaabe Clan system and roles, language and world views. We will go further in depth with each Grandfather and Clan exploring<b> decolonization, truth-telling, anti-racism</b> and
realizing their implications into our own lives and communities. <br>
<br>
The series of 8 online 2 hr workshops (drop-in's welcome) is starting:<br>
