Planning is underway for the third annual Indigenous Lands Symposium, hosted by Wahkohtowin Development. Scheduled to take place Feb. 3-7, 2025, in Bawating (Sault Ste. Marie), the five-day event will bring together Indigenous peoples from across Canada for keynote presentations, workshops, networking, and more focused on land conservation and cultural activities. …Wahkohtown is a social enterprise formed by Chapleau Cree First Nation, Missanabie Cree First Nation, and Brunswick House First Nation. One area of focus for the symposium is economic reconciliation and how Indigenous members can get involved in conservation-based forestry activities.
