À propos

Immerse yourself in an all-ages celebration of Indigenous storytelling and joy. Presented by Patty Krawec, renowned local author of “Bad Indians Book Club” and “Becoming Kin: An Indigenous Call to Unforgetting the Past and Reimagining Our Future”, in collaboration with Cindy Biancaniello, Nicole Joy-Fraser, and Okie. During this family-friendly event Patty will share with us a story about animals saving us from an eternal winter, Cindy will talk about her family's experiences in what is now Nunavut as well as her own experiences here in Niagara. Nicole will lead a drum circle that invites audience participation, and Okie will be talking about the importance of loving and caring for each other across all the boundaries that our world creates to keep us separated. Together, they will create an Indigenous storytelling experience that combines drumming, joy, and identity in a collaborative environment that emphasizes shared moments and audience activation.
