In honour of National Indigenous History Month and Indigenous Peoples Day, the UWaterloo Libraries present a session exploring the key aspects of Inuit identity, including the structure and importance of Inuit family trees, the cultural significance of the ulu, and the lasting trauma caused by derogatory terms, tuberculosis treatment policies and forced relocations.
Vanessa Brousseau, also known as Resilient Inuk, will share both heartfelt storytelling and historical context to foster understanding and support reconciliation through education.
All are welcome and encouraged to attend. Registration appreciated, particularly to facilitate online attendance. If you have accommodation requests or questions, please reach out to Kevin George (kevin.george@uwaterloo.ca) with your needs.
