Join CBC on June 1 for a free beading circle and special screening
Kick off National Indigenous History Month at Benny Library
To mark National Indigenous History Month in Canada, the Benny Library and CBC/Radio-Canada are organizing a screening of the bilingual series Telling our Story/Laissez-nous raconter.
On June 1, join CBC/Radio-Canada at Benny Library for a special screening of Telling Our Story/Laissez-nous raconter, a visually stunning four-part documentary series highlighting 11 different First Nations in Quebec, that illuminates the rich Indigenous cultures and stories that exist within the province.
Following the screening, artist Megan Leinen, who is Mi'kmaq from her mother's side, will be leading a Beading Circle — a means of recording and translating cultural knowledge and promoting wellness.
Details below.
The details:
When: Saturday, June 1, 1:30 to 3:30 p.m. We will do the screening first, and the beading circle will start at 2:15.
Where: Benny Library, 6400 Monkland Ave. (Notre-Dame-de-Grâce)
Cost: Free, but it's first come first served.
