Over the last months of the fiscal year, we put the final touches on our Law, translated it into Anishinaabemowin, put a melody to the words, and sang it repeatedly in preparation for us to Gift the Law to the children. [...] It symbolizes the heart of the process and the junction between the principles guiding the work and the results of this law-making work. [...] The words will reflect our roles and our traditional teachings and the spirit and the intent of the law or of the child well being. [...] It should be the men that show the boys how to do it, but also the women, the young girls how to do fire, because we are the ones to make the fires in the hunters. [...] Use it as a teaching tool in our school What the community really needs to see is the collective effort of all of the families and the representatives of those families here at this table, and the healing work that's been done, the learning, the engagement.
