Who belongs? It's a question that comes up from time to time in every community and at the Two Row Times, we felt it was a discussion well worth having. Here at Six Nations, our culture is vast, beautiful and varied. We have artists, academics, tradespeople, athletes, chefs, farmers, entrepreneurs, environmentalists, activists and more. We have six different languages from six different, fascinating nations. There are families lovingly made up from a medley of different cultures. There are families where tradition runs strong and true. And then there are our children each with something precious and valuable to offer, no matter where they come from.
For the past few weeks, the Two Row Times, with support from The Dreamcatcher Foundation, has collaborated with different community members to ask the question: Who belongs?
We wanted to see what community looks like to people from all different walks of life - all ages, genders, backgrounds, professions and perspectives were consulted. We titled the project "Unity in Diversity" to hopefully encourage the idea that it is our differences that makes us strong, not weak. We are excited to present this work to our readers for the next five weeks in the Two Row Times. We hope that "Unity in Diversity" will spark a discussion that our readers can participate in - whether it's in their homes, workplaces, schools, in our paper or online.
We want to hear from you - share a photo of your favourite quote or inspirational message on diversity and tag us on Facebook, Twitter or Instagram (@tworowtimes) for a chance to win $250 cash. We will draw every Wednesday for the duration of the campaign and reward randomly selected participants for sharing their message with us.
Who belongs? To us, it's everyone. Each and every member of our community is needed to make it authentically Six Nations. We celebrate our diversity, our home and our people - not one homogeneous group, but a beautiful mosaic.
