About this event

(This event is a 4 - week series; June 18, 25, July 2 and July 9, 2024)

Welcome to our second indigecation Book Club event where Winnipegger's come together to Dismantle Stereotypes!

Are you curious about Indigenous perspectives or have questions you’ve wondered about, but don’t know who to ask? Are you afraid to ask questions because you don’t want to offend anyone?

Join us on Tue Jun 18 2024 at 18:30 at Lavanda Café for an evening of insightful discussions and community building as we walk together along the path of Reconciliation.

Together we will read They Called Me Number One written by Bev Sellars, a moving memoir of her time spent away from her family to attend Residential School, just as her mother had done, and her mother had done before her.

Let's come together to challenge and break down harmful stereotypes surrounding Indigenous Peoples in Winnipeg. Bring your open mind and enthusiasm for learning as we dive into and unpack thought-provoking literature and share our perspectives.

See you there!

Frequently asked questions

Is the purchase of the book included in the cost?

You can purchase your copy of the book at McNally Robinson and receive a 20% discount. Contact: Karen@indigecation.ca for details.

What if I don't know much about Indigenous perspectives?

We were never taught about Indigenous Peoples in school. This book was chosen so we can learn about the "hidden side" of Canadian history that we were never taught. Together, we will read and unpack one Woman's account of what it was like to grow up as a First Nations woman in this country.
