The 2021 Benjamin Eby Lecture will be presented by Associate Professor of Music Karen Sunabacka.
Karen Sunabacka always knew she was Métis. Her Grandparent’s farm, near Selkirk, Manitoba, was a gathering place for the local English Métis community and Karen with her siblings spent countless hours dancing, fiddling, and exploring the rural prairie landscape.
