About Eagle Spirits

Who We Are

Eagle Spirits of the Great Waters is a community of people, both Indigenous and non-Indigenous. We create space for Indigenous Arts & Culture by gathering, sharing, and learning. We host events, workshops, classes and gatherings for the community and our members.

Our Mission

We are Indigenous and non-indigenous people sharing, celebrating, learning and creating space for Indigenous arts and culture along the north shores of Lake Ontario, based in south Mississauga. 

Our Vision

We do this by:

  • Organizing Art Exhibitions and Community Gatherings
  • Teaching Arts, crafts and Language through Workshops
  • Establishing a Community Drumming group
  • Offering Healing and Naming Ceremonies
  • Growing a Three Sisters Garden to share knowledge and food.

 

What we do

Our Indigenous led programs educate and immerse the members in various aspects of Indigenous Culture through arts, music, stories and experiences.
