Zemlya/Nanaskomun: Land/We Give Thanks: An Aboriginal- and Ukrainian-Edmontonian Ceremonial Exchange of Gifts.
The Ceremony evolved from my desire as a descendent of Ukrainian settlers on Treaty Six land to acknowledge the relationship between my people and the First Nations people through the shared gift of the land. The emphasis was on ceremony and acknowledgement of relationship. The idea of the Exchange of Gifts was mine but I shared the event with my co-host Métis advocate, Sharon Pasula.
