Local residents are being offered a chance to join in "an evening of learning, reflection, and reconciliation" tonight.
Wesdome Eagle River's presenting "The Blanket Exercise", a reconciliation workshop using Indigenous metholodogies to build understanding about the shared history of Indigenous and non-Indigenous peoples in Canada, with participants learning about pre-contact, treaty-making, colonization, and resistance, as they step onto blankets representing the land and into the roles of Indigenous peoples.
Pre-registration is required by emailing chelsea.ogilvie@wesdome.com or calling 705-561-4555.
The event runs from 6 pm to 8:30 pm tonight, at the Michipicoten First Nation Elder's Complex.
