Welcome to the Wâwiyiyaw archive, where you can explore new and past editions of our monthly newsletter dedicated to connecting Indigenous Peoples and communities with the agricultural industry, government, academia, and like-minded non-profits.
"Wâwiyiyaw," meaning "it is round in shape" in Cree, embodies our commitment to the circle of learning and sharing. Just as a circle represents continuity and unity, our newsletter reflects an ongoing journey of growth and connection. Through Wâwiyiyaw, we aim to celebrate and revitalize Indigenous agriculture and food sovereignty by sharing updates, success stories, and insights that honor our values, lands, and Mother Earth.
Dive into our newsletters to see how we’re advancing reconciliation, fostering community, and supporting Indigenous development across Turtle Island.
