Janine Manning (she/her) is Anishinaabe and a member of the Chippewas of Nawash Unceded First Nation (Neyaashiinigmiing, ON). Janine’s paternal community is Chippewas of Kettle and Stony Point. Janine identifies as urban Indigenous as she was born and raised (mostly) in Toronto. She now lives and works in her maternal traditional territory of Saukiing Anishinaabekiing in Owen Sound, ON.
Janine shares the importance of approaching not only first nation people, but all of humanity with abundance, humility, and reciprocity. This is what she anchors into within her work of philanthropy, which translates to the love of humanity.
Janine emphasizes the importance of diverse governance leadership and the inclusion of Indigenous people in building community abundance. She also discussed the complexities of citizenship and identity, the importance of self-definition, and the need to move beyond colonial and paternalistic views on identity and membership.
The conversation concluded with a discussion on the importance of understanding and respecting the history and culture of indigenous peoples, and the need for self-education and reflection in addressing potentially offensive situations.
