Volunteers pose after working hard building a lodge which will house a sacred fire. The group, called Rekindling our Fires, hopes that the sacred fire will become a safe space where community members can gather and commemorate those lost to suicide, and where they can talk openly about healing and health. The fire will be lit at 7 am on November 20, and will be manned by volunteers until November 22 at 10 am. Those interested in helping or attending the sacred fire can follow the project on Facebook by searching for Rekindling Our fires(Six Nations). Photo by Tim Reynolds.
