Working together to build a powwow drum at Mamawe Ota Ashihk camp 

Give thanks for Mamawe Ota Askihk (“Sharing Life Together Here on Earth”) Camp at the Sandy Saulteaux Spiritual Centre near Beausejour, MB in Treaty 1 Territory. The week-long camp involves ceremony, learning language and traditional ways of living, and hearing about the 7 Sacred Teachings.  Members of IPS team will be gathering with Indigenous community leaders and settler allies to “nurture one another as the earth nurtures us.”

About CPT

Partnering with nonviolent movements around the world, CPT seeks to embody an inclusive, ecumenical and diverse community of God's love. We believe we can transform war and occupation, our own lives, and the wider Christian world through:

  • the nonviolent power of God's truth
  • partnership with local peacemakers
  • bold action

CPT places teams at the invitation of local peacemaking communities that are confronting situations of lethal conflict. These teams seek to follow God's Spirit as it works through local peacemakers who risk injury and death by waging nonviolent direct action to confront systems of violence and oppression.

CPT understands violence to be rooted in systemic structures of oppression. We are committed to undoing oppressions, starting within our own lives and in the practices of our organization.
