ABOUT

AANII! HELLO!
WELCOME TO THE MOCCASIN IDENTIFIER PROJECT

This project has been developed by Carolyn King in partnership with Mississaugas of the New Credit First Nation and the Ontario Green Belt, to promote public awareness of significant cultural historic sites and the ancestral presence of First Nations, Metis and Indigenous Communites.

Objectives

  • Educate youth– to ensure that every school board in the Greenbelt Plan Area has a Moccasin Identifier kit available to teachers and classrooms.
  • Promote public awareness—to showcase indigenous cultural identity on the land across Ontario through recognizable indigenous markers on significant cultural historic sites and venues.
  • Create a network of knowledge– to inform residents, visitors and communities within the Greenbelt Plan Area of the ancestral presence of First Nations, Metis and Indigenous communities and to increase a network of knowledge for Indigenous culture
