In honour and memory of the #1323 children, Residential School Survivors & Kin, MMIW and Indigenous History Month; standing in Celebrating, Demonstrating and Advocating for Black & Indigenous Culture. Join our BIPOC Creative community as we demand change at Strathcona Park.
Our psychological and physical safety are under attack because we are misguided, misled and misinformed. The violent and racist acts against our cultural expression, cultural rights and cultural freedoms prevent us from being seen in totality.

We are here to normalize what has been continuously denied and erased. Our historic and current presence is still here.
This is an act of violence, a hate crime and
