About
Join Joseph Pitawanakwat and Junaid Kahn of Creators Garden for an afternoon talk at the Helson Gallery. Explore the meaning of bird names in Anishinaabemowin (Ojibwe language) and how they reflect deep connections between birds, people, and the environment. The talk will also highlight the three birds in the running for the Town Bird vote, connecting cultural teachings with community art and local conservation action.
Registration is not necessary but does help us with planning.
