Truth and Reconciliation Learning Lab: Unpacking the TRC Calls to Action Together

Wednesday March 8 @ 7pm: Learning from N'alaga / Kaaw Kuuna (Avis O’Brien)

**doors open at 6:45pm; event begins at 7pm**

(please note: this month's speaker will be addressing the spirit of suicide, mental wellness, and addiction)

Each month the Weird Church Truth & Reconciliation Team hosts a community wide conversation on the Truth and Reconciliation Commission 94 Calls to Action where experts in their subject will be coming to educate, communicate, and host discussion.

This month we welcome N’alag̱a / Kaaw Kuuna (Avis O’Brien).
N’alag̱a, a Haida/Kwakwa̱ka’wakw artist and Land-Based Cultural Empowerment Facilitator, was born in Alert Bay, BC. She belongs to the Kaa’was Staa’stas Eagle Clan from the Village of K’yuusda in Haida Gwaii and the Giga̱l’ǥa̱m Namima of the Lig̱wiłda’x̱w people from Cape Mudge, one of the 18 Tribes of the Kwakwaka’wakw.

N’alag̱a is a weaver, teacher, singer, dancer, and land-based cultural empowerment facilitator. She is also the team lead for ɫokʷimas - You are Strong Youth Suicide Intervention Initiative. You can learn more about her work at https://www.nalagaconsulting.com/

This series is made possible in part thanks to a grant from the Village of Cumberland.
