Join us for this pre-recorded, virtual Elder’s Panel: “Remembering Community Lifestyles: Partnerships & Alliance”

This informal session brings together three First Nation people to recollect ways Indigenous communities have collaborated to ensure cultures and traditions continue to thrive. 

Complementing the theme, "SKAÍHWA’T  |  DGOGAABWI  |  STANDING TOGETHER" this informal chat highlights the uniqueness of each First Nation's customs, community history, changes, and the library's role in supporting partnerships and alliances.
