Get Ready for an Interactive Experience with the Indigenous Peoples Atlas of Canada!
We’re excited to invite everyone to “Explore the Land, Learn the Stories”, an exciting and family-friendly event happening on Sunday, May 25 at the Bathurst Education Center! This unique, hands-on experience offers an incredible opportunity to learn about the rich history and cultures of Indigenous peoples across Canada through the Indigenous Peoples Atlas of Canada—an awe-inspiring 36 x 26 foot floor map that brings to life traditional territories, treaties, languages, and so much more!
What to Expect:
At this event, you’ll be able to walk across a giant map that showcases Indigenous territories, treaties, and Indigenous languages. This immersive, interactive experience allows participants to deeply explore how land, culture, and language are intricately connected to Indigenous well-being.
You and your family will enjoy:
Self-guided activities: Explore the map and engage with educational materials that highlight the histories and territories of various Indigenous communities.
Story-sharing: Listen to stories and perspectives from community members that bring the map to life.
Interactive stations: Learn more about the connection between land and Indigenous cultures through hands-on activities.
