Discover the House of Oneness
A local not for profit
We welcome you to Treaty 7 lands and the traditional land of Iyahre Nakoda (Bearspaw, Chiniki and Goodstoney Bands), the Niitsitapi (Blackfoot confederacy: Siksika, Kainai, Piikani), Tsuu T’ina and the Metis Nation in Region 3.
Wazin = One
Ichinabi = Feeling part of
Ti = House
“House of Oneness was chosen because from an Iethka perspective we are one with all creation. Earth is a living entity and to be one with nature is a virtue. It is named as such because Elders want everyone to learn this virtue” (the late Dr. Trent Fox, 2023).
“In my class we say, ‘wazin ĩeichninabi’, which means ‘I’m one with you’. I’ll eat, I’ll laugh, I’ll cry with you. That’s what I want to put out there in my class. And it’s working. This is about reconciliation. I’m happy this kind of work is happening,” (the late Buddy Wesley).
Wazin Îchinabi Ti is a non-profit society that provides a place of acceptance and well-being and connections for Indigenous and non-Indigenous people through a variety of community-based programs, services and opportunities.
Community events and gatherings provide cultural, recreational and social programming for Cochrane and area.
Indigenous Ways of Knowing can support private and public sector and raise awareness and build capacity of local not profit and service providers to Indigenize and decolonize their service delivery, Indigenous leadership, protocol, duty to consult, family systems, land & title rights.
Event support for community initiatives including blessings, ceremonies, and tipi rentals bring an Indigenous lens, perspective, and opportunity for all residents in attendance.
Thank you to our supporters:
