June 8: Advancing Our Knowledge - Always Learning

Session Information:
In January we learned the importance of why we needed to support having more Indigenous people in the Tourism Economy, in our session Enriching Tourism by Embracing the Original Hosts of the Land. How we have done in the last 5 months and what are the next steps in advancing our knowledge and understanding? ​

What does it mean? Going beyond the Land Acknowledgement?  ​

Learn alongside us as we gain knowledge by listening to the experts share how we can take the next steps in supporting having more Indigenous people in the Tourism Economy.​

My name is Tim McGregor and consider myself to be a traditional Anishinabenini who dances the Northern Traditional style of dance.

I have been involved with jiingtamok, sometimes known as pow wows, for many decades and gained considerable knowledge of the history and teachings.

After a lengthy career of First Nation public service in Federal, Provincial, State, Tribal Council, and private sectors my focus is on sharing the culture and traditions of the Anishinabek. As part of a multi-generational, home-based family business called Rolling Thunder Dance Traditions the splendor of our culture is shared through cultural teachings, regalia making teachings, dance teachings, custom regalia, and custom dance performances of the Pow Wow.
