The University of Waterloo Libraries invites you to a captivating evening of Indigenous storytelling. Please join us in welcoming Bomgiizhik (Isaac Murdoch) of the Great Lakes and Goombine (Richard Scott-Moore) of the Southeast coast of Australia to our main campus.

This is a three-part workshop that journeys through First Nations, Inuit, and Metis relations with settlers. As the title indicates, you don't know what you don't know so everyone is welcome. You will be introduced to the concept of Miskasowin (wholistic self-evaluation) that will define content, context, and relationship promoting further action, accountability, and responsibilities as a treaty person in this land now known as Canada. 

Come celebrate community and the season with food, laughter, and great company. All UW womxn and nonbinary staff, postdocs, grad students, and faculty are welcome.

Stressed about finals? Take a break and join us for a fun and relaxing prototyping session!

have fun! Plus, there’ll be snacks, hot chocolate, and lots of laughs.
Come for the creativity, stay for the stress relief at the MC Dungeon!
