About
Join us on September 30 for activities in recognition National Day for Truth and Reconciliation.
New this year is the Métis History Walk. This walk features a series of informative signs, which take us through the history of the Métis people from origin to modern day. Events that happened here in Saskatchewan are featured, as well as events that happened elsewhere on Turtle Island that effected life here.
Still featured will be the original Treaty 4 Timeline, which takes participants through Indigenous history from pre-contact to modern day, with events that happened here in Treaty 4 territory but also events that happened elsewhere on Turtle Island that effected life here.
After our walk, head over to Collabartive Studios to take part in their Medicine Wheel Workshop.
