O-day'min
Pronunciation: Oh-DAY-min
Elders told stories of vulnerability using O-day’min, or strawberry, as the seeds were on the outside, rather than on the inside. It teaches about creation, community and love. The O-day’min reminds us to love as an active experience – one that involves commitment, compassion and caring.
