history

Sagamok has been home to the Anishnawbek since time immemorial.  The many lakes provided an abundance of fish and birds, the forests material for lodgings, canoes, and medicine, the rivers carried our people in all directions faster than the fleetest of feet.  When the French arrived in the 17th century, Sagamok became home to the Lacloche trading posts.

They hosted the Indigenous World Language Conference in 2004, and the intent was to learn what other indigenous cultures were doing to preserve their language heritage.

Jonathan Woodward - Addressing Stigma
March 30, 2023
Stigma is a significant barrier to talking openly about substance use and can prevent people from accessing support or treatment. Stigma (prejudice and discrimination) begins with the labeling of differences and negative stereotyping of people, creating a separation between “us” and “them.” Those who are stigmatized are devalued and subjected to discrimination, which is unjust treatment. This can lead to disadvantage and inequitable social and health outcomes.
