Events Description

 

Presenting photographs and stories from survivors and government workers, this travelling exhibit from the Gault Museum & Archives is curated by Apooyak’ii/Dr. Tiffany Hind Bull-Prete, a member of the Kainai (Blood Tribe) First Nation. It illustrates the evolution of the colonial school system from mission schools to band-controlled schools.

Stolen Kainai Children: Stories of Survival demonstrates Kainai children’s experience of survival with the residential school era, while also highlighting the educational efforts and resiliency of the Blood Tribe. Dr. Tiffany Hind Bull-Prete is presenting at The Confluence Symposium on Saturday, Oct. 4.

This event is being offered as part of an event series The Confluence is hosting to commemorate 150 years since the North-West Mounted Police (NWMP) first arrived at the confluence of the Bow and Elbow Rivers and established Fort Calgary in 1875. The Confluence is taking a reflective approach in sharing the stories that make the site so significant. Find the full event line-up at theconfluence.ca/150
