Join Jane Manning, Director, Indigenous Education, for a drop-in session reception for the Generations Lost: The Residential School System in Canada exhibit.
The Generations Lost exhibit provides a timeline from 1620 to 2011 showing the development of the Residential School System alongside the formation of Canada, the escalation of government policy as it pertains to Indigenous affairs, and the establishment of the Indian Act. It lays out hundreds of years of colonization and settler colonial strategy to eliminate and assimilate Indigenous Peoples for the benefit of settlers and the settler government.
This exhibit also features pillars that outline the Residential School System experience and highlight the importance of Truth, Reconciliation, and healing.
Light Refreshments & Door Prize
Light refreshments will be available for attendees.
Attendees can also submit a ballot to win a copy of the new book Decolonization and Me: Conversations About Healing a Nation and Ourselves by author and PhD candidate Kristy McLeod and activist and creator of Orange Shirt Day Phyllis Webstad.
