Word from the President
Telling our story
Nipakanatik marks an important turning point. It is time for us Anicinabek to start telling our own story. Let us use the objects that have been "borrowed" from us to revive our memory and that of our ancestors. By repatriating these objects, even virtually, we will be able to tell what they represent and the stories they tell us. They will be landmarks for our memories to retrace the path and remind us of them.
By using and controlling technology to our advantage, we can even regain a certain form of nomadism and carry these objects with us wherever we go, as our cultural legacy. Let us furnish this Nipakanatik with all these objects, archived documents and all our documents that we keep at home.
We will speak with one voice again of a common culture and history, as the First Peoples that we are, as the first occupants of this land of the Anicinabe Aki. We will say who we truly are, who we have been. In this way, we will pay tribute to the memory of our parents, our grandparents and our ancestors, while giving our future generations a stronger and more assertive identity to be proud of.
