An Indigenous ‘medicine garden’ takes root in Altona’s Community Garden – PembinaValleyOnline
Jul 15 2024
Another handful of seeds have been sown in the growing effort to build reconciliation between Indigenous peoples and settlers in the Pembina Valley.
Steps Toward Reconciliation, a grass roots organization based in Altona, has established a medicine garden donated by the town’s community gardens based on the Indigenous worldview known as the “medicine wheel.”
Spokesperson Shaun Friesen feels it’s important that their plot is not separate from but part of the community garden, in an effort to re-connect with our Indigenous neighbors.
