The Hidden Legacy Conference

Next week I will be attending The Hidden Legacy Conference put on by the Assembly of Manitoba Chiefs. The conference focuses on the generational impact of residential schools and legacy of residential school trauma in Aboriginal communities.

The full conference agenda can be seen here. I am looking forward to a number of a sessions including:
-Elijah Harper, Breaking Barriers/Breaking Silence
-Cindy Blackstock, Aboriginal Children: The Parallels of Residential Schools and Child Welfare
-The screening of A Windigo Tale by Armand Garnet Ruffo.
-A workshop on community trauma and healing.
