Join us for an enriching and immersive talk that explores the profound wisdom of Indigenous worldviews, their relationship with the natural world, and the sacred role of medicines in maintaining balance and well-being. This session will provide an opportunity to learn directly from Indigenous teachings and practices, focusing on the deep connection between all living beings and the Earth.

About the Presenter
My name is Scott Norton. I am an Ojibway man of mixed ancestry, and I have been part of the Kitchener–Waterloo region for the past 53 winters. For more than 32 years, I have served as a helper within my community, walking alongside others in various roles focused on support, connection, and healing.

I am a veteran of the Canadian Armed Forces, and my experiences there continue to shape my sense of service, responsibility, and care for others. Within the community, I am a singer and dancer with a community drum group, and I serve as a fire keeper and helper for our men’s circles. These roles are deeply meaningful to me and are rooted in responsibility, respect, and tradition.

I currently work with Crow Shield Lodge as the Lead Outreach Coordinator for the Region’s HART Hub, where I continue my commitment to helping those who need support the most. I am grateful to be able to give back in ways that honor both my lived experience and my cultural teachings.

Above all else, I am a proud brother, son, uncle, and nephew—but most importantly, I am a devoted father and husband. My family, community, and culture guide the work I do and the way I move through the world.
