Quick Facts
Gikenden – to know it or realize it.
Two Mishkeegogamang women, Destani Skunk and Tanyaa Bottle, felt called to help their community and began a partnership with Burning Stone Ministries help make this a reality. As part of their NextLevel Leadership Indigenous facilitator journey, they mentored 10 young women during a weekend retreat.
Many of these remote Northern Ontario youth came from dysfunctional situations. Therefore, support was the focus before branching into leadership activities. Throughout, there was an acknowledgment of how negative thoughts can sabotage abilities and gifts. Leaders from Burning Stones Ministries, as well as Destani and Tanyaa, worked through the bravery path needed to help influence self and communities out of dysfunction.
One participant commented, “I loved being with all these girls who are bright and awesome and hanging out with some I didn’t know that well before. I learned how to start loving myself and how cool it is to be inspired by others. The place we stayed made me feel important and special.”
