The 14 Wing Greenwood Defence Indigenous Advisory Group invites 14 Wing members to join them in celebrating Indigenous Awareness Week May 21 to 25. All are welcome.
This year’s theme is “Reconciliation is a path walked together.” Greenwood events begin Monday, May 15, with an 8:30 a.m. flag-raising at the main gate, followed immediately afterwards with a teepee blessing and smudge on the Birchall Centre lawn.
Tuesday, May 16, at 10 a.m., come to the Birchall theatre for a free screening of “You Can Call Me Roger.” Halifax filmmaker Jon Mann’s documentary presents retired Assembly of First Nations regional Chief Roger Joseph Augustine’s experiences as a residential school survivor, the prolonged assault on the Indigenous people in Canada, and Augustine’s 45 years in leadership.
Thursday, May 18, the DIAG invites everyone to an outdoor Indigenous dance lesson activity, with guest dancers, at 10 a.m. on the Birchall Centre lawn; followed by closing ceremonies.
