Location and zoom link to be sent to registrants. \nEllie Joseph\nI am of the Mohawk Nation\, Turtle Clan\, born\, raised\, and still live on Six Nations of the Grand River Territory along the bank of The Grand River. I retired from a thirty-seven year tenure as a classroom teacher of  Elementary Schools in our public school system many years ago\, but remain an active volunteer in the education field. \nAfter participating on the sixteen day Two Row Renewal Campaign whose aim was to honour the Guswenta\, or Two Row Wampum\, from Albany to Manhattan\, New York\, on The Hudson River in 2013\, I was one of four participants who established what is now known as “Two Row on the Grand.” This ten day paddle excursion\, from Cambridge to Port Maitland\, brings our Six Nations Community together with ally participants. Cultural teachings are presented along the way\, encouraging healthy relationships and connections to Mother Earth. \nFunctioning as a grassroots-volunteer committee\, we have watched this project’s participation more than double in size in its eight years of existence.  Plans are already underway for Two Row on the Grand 2025\, our tenth anniversary. \nFor more information please visit www.tworowonthegrand.com \nAbout Two Row on the Grand\nTwo Row on the Grand is an annual nine day family-oriented camping and paddling excursion on The Grand River\, starting in Cambridge and ending at Port Maitland\, Lake Erie. The concept is based on the four hundred year old two row wampum. \nCo-Sponsers\nWater Allies and Experiential Learning Fellowship.
