About this event

Please join Building Bridges and Triann Littlepine for an event about Land Connection. Triann will lead a discussion on what land connection is and why land is important for identity. Participants will engage in creating tobacco ties, a custom for many Indigenous peoples, and will have the opportunity to share their own journey and thoughts.


Triann Littlepine's family is from Beardy’s & Okemasis’ Cree Nation and she grew up in Prince Albert. She graduated from Usask’s Renewable Resource Management program and has a background in environmental consulting. She is also a research and outreach coordinator for First Nations’ soil health at the Department of Soil Science. Taking care of the land has always been a passion of hers and she is excited to lead an event with Building Bridges.


The event will take place in the Gordon Oakes Red Bear Student Centre. Soup & Bannock will be provided. Everyone is welcome!


This is presented by Building Bridges, a program coordinated by the Gordon Oakes Red Bear Student Centre and the International Student and Study Abroad Centre (ISSAC).
