Political quarterly update: Winter – Anishinabek News

March 5, 2026

Biboon (Winter) is upon us, and we give thanks for another year. As we begin the journey around our Grandfather again, we give thanks for the longer daylight hours, reminding us of warmer days ahead. It is in this season that we honour our Ancestors, share stories, and hold ceremonies. It is also the time we begin to prepare for the Ziigwan (Spring) awakening.

As we begin our journey into the Spring, we are reminded of the beauty and power of all creation that is ignited with the rising sun in the east. It is our Grandfather’s reminder to us all, that the Creator has gifted us with another day. We are reminded to not waste this precious gift. We need to lift each other up and not tear each other down. Speak positive things and not gossip about things that are not true. Be grateful for what you have and not complain that it is not enough. Love your life and be in service to our people. Strive to beautify everything in your life and everything around you. If you need help, do not be afraid to ask someone for help. Ngo Dwe Waangizid Anishinaabe—We are one Anishinaabe family.
