The Cochrane Public Library (CPL) is planning to bring a series of new initiatives to increase awareness and appreciation of Indigenous culture this fall, through the introduction of programs and expanded collections.
The free programs include workshops led by Cree/Métis artist, storyteller, and educator Chantal Chagnon on Storystones and Medicine Wheel Teachings. The CPL will also host Gloria Snow, an Indigenous Knowledge Keeper from Mînî Thnî, who will read “The Orange Shirt Day Story” and lead engaging activities for all ages on Sept. 28 at 2 p.m.
The CPL will also be adding approximately 100 new children’s titles written by First Nations, Métis, and Inuit voices. They will be featured on display through the month of September.
