This program is for young Indigenous women, who are entering puberty stage.
This year long program to instruct young women, their mothers/aunties/grandmothers in the Traditional and time honoured teachings and practices around menstruation and womanhood.
Ode’ imin comes with a promise. A promise that if we care for and celebrate the women’s berry, Ode’ imin, the way we must all care for and celebrate women, then we know our hearts are good.
By equipping young women with these knowledge and skills, not only will they be engaged in time honoured cultural practices, they will understand the sacredness of their own spirits and bodies. These teachings also serve as cultural prevention for exploitation and abuse.
This program centres Woman’s sacred place in society, Tribal sovereignty, Traditional Governance and Rites of Passage, Prevention of Birth Alerts and CAS involvement.
