The Debwewin Project
The word “Debwewin” refers to one of the Anishinabek seven grandfathers’ teaching for “truth.” This became the inspiration for the Debwewin Project, which aims to raise questions about the city of Oakville’s Truth, using a variety of methods to educate – videos, cultural mapping, storytelling, place-making, and others.
In February, Know History was honoured to attend the premiere of four videos for the Debwewin Project that were the result of a collaboration between the Mississaugas of the Credit First Nation and the Oakville Community Foundation.
Know History’s Director of Content & Interpretive Products, Connie Wren-Gunn and Interpretive Planner Vanessa Campoli-Williston were incredibly proud of the powerful final products – a testament to teams’ hard work.
