Tionnhekwen
Tionnhekwen is the Kenien’keha (Haudenosaunee) word for Sustenance. It is an ongoing sustainability and food sovereignty project that has been in many locations since 2020. With every new season comes new growth and opportunity to learn, share and connect with each other and the land.
From the many donated seeds and plants, the food from this project goes back to community members in need, through individuals reaching out, or donations to the community fridges. We hope this project will grow and flourish ever stronger over the coming years.

Though not all nations use the medicine wheel it is a representation of all the people that share this world with us, as well as the circle of life. The handprints are the hands of many that were in the camp as well as those that supported us.
