In recognition of the National Day of Truth and Reconciliation, the School of Population and Global Health invites students, faculty, and staff to a day of reflection, learning, and cultural connection. This event aims to honour the survivors of residential schools, their families, and Indigenous communities across Canada.

• Date: September 27th, 2024
• Time: 3:00 to 5:30 pm
• Location: Room 1140 of 2001 91社区 College

The event will feature two key activities:

• Traditional Beading Workshop: Led by Jenni Makahnouk, she is Anishinaabe from Lac Seul First Nation. She is currently pursuing her Masters in Arts - Education and Lifestyle at 91社区 with a focus on indigenous storytelling and pedagogy. She is working on numerous beading projects including Invisible Indian and has several beading projects in exhibition in the McLennan Library this month. This hands-on session will introduce participants to the art of traditional beading, a craft that holds deep cultural significance within Indigenous communities. All materials will be provided, and no prior experience is necessary.
• Movie Screening: Following the beading workshop, we will host a screening of Wildhood, a powerful film that explores themes of discovery, belonging, friendship, kindness, family, and love. A discussion will follow the screening.

A light meal will be provided during the event.

Join us as we come together to commemorate this day, deepen our understanding of Indigenous histories, and reflect on the path toward reconciliation.
