With the National Day for Truth and Reconciliation around the corner, Robyn Michaud – Glendale High School graduate, educator, and now Professor of Indigenous Studies at Conestoga College – will discuss her family history in the context of cultural assimilation and reflect on her personal journey reclaiming her identity and culture. Michaud, who grew up in Tillsonburg, is Anishinaabe Kwe, Bear Clan from Sagamok Anishinabek First Nation. Her presentation will include a Jingle Dance demonstration.

Regsitration is required and opens August 27th and will close at 11:59pm on September 25th. An email address is required so that we can send you the Zoom meeting link on the day of the event.

If this is your first time using Zoom, or perhaps your first time in a long while, it is recommended that you review this short tutorial video on Zoom’s website. Note that we’ve configured the meeting room so that participants may join via a direct invitation link, so the 0:12 to 1:20 portion of the video will be most applicable.

We intend to begin streaming at 7pm or soon after. Should you encounter any Zoom issues, please refer to Zoom’s online support page for guidance. Library staff will not be available to help resolve Zoom problems over the phone.

This event will not be recorded, and audio and/or video recording of the event is strictly prohibited.
