Eagle Staff Creative Input Call Out (open to all First Nations, Metis and Inuit UWaterloo community members)

Hello all,

We are excited to announce that next month, Indigenous Knowledge Keeper Myeengun Henry will introduce an Eagle Staff to the University of Waterloo, on behalf of the UWaterloo Indigenous Campus Community. This sacred item will be used in ceremony and celebration at UWaterloo and will represent the traditions and cultures of UWaterloo First Nations, Metis, and Inuit folks, serving as a beacon of reconciliation throughout our shared future. 

On Wednesday, February 22, 2023 from 12:30pm – 2:00 pm in LHI 3071 we will be hosting an open discussion as to what the Eagle Staff will look like, represent and symbolize. Whether you have creative talents, crafty skills, artistic vision, or even meaningful thoughts around the creation of the staff, we would like to hear from you.

As the Eagle Staff will represent First Nations, Metis, and Inuit people here at UWaterloo, we are asking for your voices and talent in guiding the creation of the staff. In this way, the staff will truly carry the spirit of the people.

Attendance is voluntary. Drinks and Snacks will be provided.

If interested, please email us at indigenousrelations@uwaterloo.ca and we will save you a spot!
