Session #2 Survivance & Resilience with Elder Doreen Bergum

Focus is on A Metis Perspective on Colonization, Resilience, and Renewal that will be presented by Metis Elder Doreen Bergum. Elder Bergum has previously been an invited Elder to showcase her culture with the St. Mary’s community in the past. We have the honour of bringing Elder Bergum back to the StMU community to speak on this topic. This session will also give insight to helping understand the importance of community, kinship, and language in Metis resurgence. It is to recognize the impacts of colonization on Metis communities while highlighting the strength of cultural continuity, language, and community through an interactive session.
