We invite you to

toward reconciliation over the past year, and to help us celebrate and honour our Indigenous community every day.

Drum performance and beading workshop

Everyone on campus is welcome to attend a free event hosted by the

(UWSA) on June 21.

“We have the help and support of the

(ISA), the , and the University’s

,” said UWSA president, Tomiris Kaliyeva. “It’s important for Indigenous students to know they are celebrated, that they are honoured, and that they are thought about.”

The event runs from 12:30 to 3:00 p.m. in the Quad (rain location is The Hive) and starts with opening remarks from Elder Sharron Pelletier. Enjoy a drum performance by Anishinaabe Voice, then join in a beading workshop led by Megan Lindell and the ISA.

“The beading is usually very popular,” Kaliyeva said. “People can come stop by, do however much they want and then run back to class, or they can stay there for the whole time. I’ve never tried it but I’m going to try it this time because it sounds really fun.”

Kaliyeva said she hopes the event helps people gain some new knowledge and provides a way to celebrate together as a whole community.

“A big part of the University is about Indigenization,” she said. “It’s about decolonization, and I think that is really important. Events like this can help.”

No registration is required for the event and all are welcome.
