You are providing Matawa youth with the means to realize their full potential and empower them to make life-changing choices that impact them and their community. By creating a bursary, you are offering them access to post-secondary education; when you support a fund, these dollars enhance their learning opportunities.

The organization works to preserve cultural traditions through land-based and culturally connected programming.

We had the privilege to have a conversation with Elders Emily and Sarah at the Matawa Education & Care Centre Elder's Lounge. Emily and Sarah have had a great impact on the students with over 1000 visits to the Elders Lounge every month.
Emily and Sarah shared that a large part of their job at αͺαα§α Matawa First Nations is making connections with the students and staff. Emily also shared, "I don't want history to repeat itself." Many students at αͺαα§α Matawa First Nations have been separated from their families and communities to attend school. Emily and Sara provide a safe space for students because they can connect with their feelings.

We congratulate Ciarra Roy for being awarded the The Courage (Alex Missewace) Bursary!
Ciarra is a member of Constance Lake First Nation in Treaty 9 Territory. Last spring, she studied Indigenous Studies with a minor in Legal Studies at Simon Frazier University. She is currently in the Common Law/Indigenous Legal Orders JD/JID at the University of Victoria and will enter her second year (2L) in the fall.
When Ciarra completes her program, she hopes to use her knowledge of various areas of law to help Indigenous communities and nations in various ways. This could include substantiating traditional legal orders and knowledge, legal representation for environmental projects, land acquisition, and inherent rights.
Congratulations Ciarra!

Wtg Ciarra, keep up the great work! ππ½
Thank you again for the support!
Congratulations Ciarra! ππ
We are looking forward to sharing information with our social media community about some sacred Indigenous teachings, medicines, foods, and other elements that are important to Matawa. This knowledge offers a glimpse into the rich cultural heritage and traditions of Indigenous peoples.
The information we share is only a small portion of the many extensive sacred Indigenous teachings and protocols. It's important to recognize that these teachings vary from community to community and from one geographic region to another.
For a more comprehensive understanding, please consult a Traditional Elder, Healer, or Medicine Person. Their wisdom and guidance are invaluable for truly appreciating and respecting the Indigenous cultural practices we seek to share.
Sweetgrass is the last sacred medicine that we are going to share!
Sweetgrass, the sacred hair of mother earth, is braided with three strands, each representing one of the seven grandfather teachings. Its calming aroma of love and gentleness mirrors the spiritual essence shared with sage, cedar, and tobacco, forming the four sacred medicines. Sweetgrass is known for its benefits of calming anxiety and used to ground yourself again. The aroma smell reminds love, calmness, and to be gentle.
Sweetgrass, known as the sacred hair of mother earth, is braided with three strands symbolizing the seven grandfather teachings. At αͺαα§α Matawa First Nations students learn about sweetgrass's cultural significance and its health benefits. ... See MoreSee Less

It is with great sadness that we share the loss of one of our colleagues, Barb Rabbit. Barb was the Registration Administrator and Membership Clerk for the αͺαα§α Matawa First Nations. Barb was someone who was always filled with life and happiness.
On July 5th, αͺαα§α Matawa First Nations hosted their annual staff golf tournament. Barb was always a fan of the tournament and brought her smile, wonderful spirit, and photography skills.
With Barb's passing and her love for the golf tournament, the Matawa Staff Golf Tournament will now be called the Barb Rabbit Memorial Golf Tournament.
We continue to keep her family in our thoughts and prayers. ... See MoreSee Less

I hope the staff at INAC at The FWFN were given notice about it. When I went there Tuesday morning this week, one of the ladies who work there was shocked to hear of her passing. They didn’t know until I informed them she passed on π .
