Tonight’s full moon, Sunday, September 7, 2025, is Wabaabagaa-giizis, the Changing Leaves Moon, in Anishinaabe tradition. It marks when leaves turn and fall, signaling autumn. In some regions, it’s also called Binaakwe-giizis, the Falling Leaves Moon.

Beneath the wide prairie sky, the battle standard flag danced in the wind, while our fearless Métis warriors fought with fire and spirit at the legendary Battle of Batoche.

🛞🌾 Red River Cart 🪶
No iron. Just wood, sinew, and the strength of our ancestors.
It creaked across the prairie, carrying our lives, our stories, and our trade.
Métis innovation. Resistance on wheels.
We didn’t just move — we moved history.

🪶⛰️ The Supreme Court said NO to protecting Oak Flat — sacred Apache land now threatened by a foreign mining company.

This isn’t just about land. It’s about survival, ceremony, and sovereignty.

🍒 Did you know? “Pembina” comes from the Ojibwe word for high cranberry — a key ingredient in pemmican, the traditional survival food made from dried buffalo meat & berries. A taste of history and resilience! 🦬✨
