O:se Kenhionhata:tie Land Back Camp

In June 2020, members of the local Indigenous community gathered on lands within Victoria Park, in the City of Kitchener. In October 2020, members of the O:se Kenhionhata:tie Land Back Camp relocated to Waterloo Park, in the City of Waterloo, before retiring the camp in December 2020. The gatherings were peaceful and focused on solidarity and celebration, and to advance reconciliation actions within the Region of Waterloo.

In May 2021, the O:se Kenhionhata:tie Land Back relocated to the Laurel Creek Conservation Area in the City of Waterloo. The group’s focus was on connecting and educating local Indigenous youth through cultural ceremonies and teachings on the environment. The organizers retired the camp in October 2021. We thank the organizers of the Land Back Camp for the valuable feedback they provided.

It’s important to learn about the complete history of Indigenous people in our country to understand the reasons why organizers were gathered at the O:se Kenhionhata:tie Land Back Camp. For more information, please visit: www.facebook.com/Osekenhionhatatie.
