For the fifth year, Anishinabek Nation Grand Council Chief Glen Hare welcomed member Anishinabek Nation First Nations and guests to the 2021 Lands, Resources and Economic Development Forum: Kina-Gego-Naabadosin: Everything is Connected.
Hare says the theme was chosen with guests and keynote speakers discussing the importance of remaining connected with citizens on- and- off-reserve, more so since the conference was held virtually over the last three days.
A number of ministries, including Environment and Climate Change, Indigenous Services of Canada, and the Ontario Ministry of Agriculture, Food and Rural Affairs also took part.
The virtual event brought together 39-member Anishinabek First Nations, representing over 65,000 citizens in Ontario.
