A significant national gathering is set to take place in Brantford this May, as the Woodland Cultural Centre prepares to host discussions on a potential UNESCO (United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization) World Heritage nomination for former residential school sites across Canada.
The Six Nations Elected Council has voiced its support for the initiative, which will bring together site stewards from locations including Kamloops, Muscowequan, Shingwauk, and others. Survivors, researchers, and community leaders will also take part.
