Coming together as grantmakers...
This collaboration site has been created as a space for dialogue and sharing around Aboriginal-focused philanthropy in Canada. A place where foundations and other philanthropic grantmakers can connect to the larger issues and solutions through access to new research, stories, events and a network of fellow grantmakers. By better linking our efforts, we hope to have a greater impact and understanding of peoples, communities, issues and perspectives: Inuit, Metis and First Nations, north and south, urban and rural.
All My Relations: 2009 Gathering CAGC invites all interested participants of the PFC Conference, as well as others working in philanthropy or in creating strong futures for Aboriginal communities, to join a conversation begun last spring to help us dream the future.
As independent, non-governmental institutions with resources and networks of influence, we want to discover how to make strategic interventions that can "change the game". In particular, what can we do to help broaden and deepen public knowledge about the history, circumstances and success stories of First Nations, Inuit and Métis Peoples? How can we support the flourishing of Indigenous models of philanthropy? How do we strengthen our relationship to the land? How do we strategically fill those gaps in knowledge, ideas and action where government fears to tread?

This stunning new facility, a national historic site, is a cultural, educational and entertainment centre built for the promotion and preservation of the Siksika Nation Peoples' Language, Culture and Traditions. Located 1 hour east of Calgary, Blackfoot Crossing continues to be a significant meeting place for the peoples of the Blackfoot Confederacy. Before the 20th Century this site bore witness to the regular migration of the buffalo, a moving carpet of black undulating over the hills and valleys of this region. In recent history, the site was the location in of the 1877 signing of Treaty 7 between the tribes of the Blackfoot and the British and fledgling Canadian Governments. |
