Everyone is welcome, free event, free refreshments and snacks.

Please view the attached poster. We will be incorporating our UAlberta Indigenous students and Indigenous performers that are well known in our community. The scan code on the poster contains more information on who the performers are (for example: Adrian LaChance, Corbin Poitras, Shawn Bernard, Matthew Creeasian, and the Indigenous Artist in Residence at UAlberta, Jordan Bennett will be performing, as well as students across different faculties) There will be First Nations traditional powwow dancing, hoop dancing, Metis traditional dancing, B-Boy and B-Girl groups that derive their steps from powwow, among other amazing performances.

This exciting event of dance, music, spoken word, songs and poetry is a celebration of who we are as diverse Indigenous peoples with amazing talents and passions in the artistic realm.



UAlberta.ca - A monument to mending
Birchbark canoe and paddle become artwork to commemorate residential school survivors and begin new legacy of learning at UAlberta.

An artifact-turned-memorial for children who suffered in Canada's residential schools was unveiled at the University of Alberta April 4.

A birchbark canoe and a paddle made of hundreds of commemorative tiles decorated by Alberta schoolchildren were presented to the university through Project of Heart, an interactive, intergenerational art-based initiative that creates Canadian awareness of residential school survivors and acknowledges their healing journeys.

NOTICE: The Canadian constitution recognizes 3 groups of Aboriginal peoples termed Indian, Métis and Inuit. Today "First Nation(s)" is preferred to "Indian" in Canada. "Aboriginal", "Indigenous", and "Native" may also be used interchangeably on this website. There are additional usages that reflect the complexities surrounding appropriate terminologies past and present and the diverse contexts in which these terms applied.
