BEAR WITNESS DAY 2026

Jordan’s Principle honours Jordan River Anderson, a young boy from Norway House Cree Nation. In 2005, Jordan’s family gave the sacred gift of his name to ensure that all First Nations children can access the care and support they need, when they need it.

Join us on Friday, May 8 at the Tsi Snaihne Recreation Center from 5:00-7:00 p.m. for Bear Witness Day, a fun and meaningful family event where we honour Jordan’s legacy and stand up for the full implementation of Jordan’s Principle. This evening is all about celebrating our kids, raising awareness, and coming together as a community — with something for everyone to enjoy!

This special occasion will also mark the introduction of the Mohawk Council of Akwesasne’s new Special Needs Program, highlighting an important step forward in supporting children and families in our community.

Activities include: 
🎨 Face Painting
🐰 Petting Zoo
🎮 Gaming Trailer
🖍️ Coloring
… and more!

Let’s “bear witness” together for a brighter future where every child is supported and cared for.
