Introducing….

Eddy Robinson
Keynote Speaker, Indigenous Educator & Writer

Eddy is a noted Anishinaabe artist, musician, educator, facilitator, trainer, writer and speaker and has appeared on National Geographic’s, The Story of God, to share the Indigenous narrative and voice.

“Eddy’s life was completely changed by a vision of the divine. In his case it was the Great Spirit a manifestation of his peoples’ connection to the land…Eddy became a guide for the First Nations People spreading the transformative power of the Vision Quest.” – Morgan Freeman – National Geographic’s “The Story of God”

We’re honoured to have Eddy share his story. Don’t miss his session at Conference entitled Debwewin (which means Truth in Anishinaabe – Ojibway or Heart Language). Eddy’s talk will explore our relationship to the earth, our first family – Creation. He will also share the Indigenous narrative in Canada through the lens of Truth and Reconciliation.
