Join local Indigenous artist-storyteller Brenda Mercer for this FREE EVENT in the galleries to learn about an impactful and poignant topic, the 60s Scoop. Explore the profound artwork of Globally- acclaimed George Littlechild, Here I Am- Can You See Me? (who himself is a survivor of the 60s scoop), followed by a sharing circle and crafting keepsake pouches. Gathering together, sharing stories and crafting together is a way to honour the past, celebrate Indigenous culture and grow together in the present.
Brenda Mercer is an Indigenous artist-storyteller who has been sharing her knowledge for over a decade with communities situated on the traditional lands of the Siksika, Kainai, Piikani, Stoney-Nakoda, and Tsuut’ina as well as the Cree, Sioux, and the Saulteaux bands of the Ojibwa peoples, and homelands of the Metis Nation within region III.
