Join us for the Knowledge 
Carrier Program at Ojigkwanong, a space where Indigenous students can receive cultural, spiritual, and emotional support from a visiting Knowledge Keeper. Each session offers guidance, wisdom, and connection in a safe and welcoming environment, helping students strengthen resilience, engage with their heritage, and build community.
This session will feature Louella Tobias. Louella is a Cultural Grandmother and Keeper. She comes to us from Moraviantown First Nations and is a Delaware Anishnawbe kwe. Louella has 3 children, 7 grandchildren and one great-grandson. As a healer, Louella has 3rd Degree Midewin training from the lodge in Wikwemikong. Louella has been working in the community on the Algonquin Unceded Unsurrendered Territory for many years and brings with her a cultural awareness and understanding of barriers and challenges within the community, and has the Traditional Knowledge to continue to move their healing journey along in a good way. The four sacred medicines are used in everyday life and in ceremonies.聽 This is one of the Sacred Teachings that Grandmother Louella shares. These medicines impact the community spiritually, mentally, emotionally, and physically, and Louella supports the community in understanding this balance.
