SUMMARY:Fall Food Festival (Carving Workshop With Michelle Sylliooy)
DESCRIPTION:We are hoping to host a weeklong event centered around the Fishery Industry. We have applied to the Gord Downie Blanket Fund for the majority of our events. We just did a workshop with Michelle Sylliboy and thought it would be a great addition to our Fall Lineup. We are applying to you to cover the cost of a Bone Carving Workshop. Through the Blanket Fund\, we applied to host a Fall Feast with traditonal cooking techniques\, a Salmon Hide Workshop\, Excursions on the Annie Tena Barge\, and Nightly Eel Fishing. The addition of the Michelle Sylliboy Carving Workshop will be a tie in to our activities. Michelle is a well known Artist and has showcased her beautiful whale bone carvings. This has intrigued us\, and although she will be teaching cow bone carving\, she will be teaching a whale tail design to participants\, in keeping with our Fishery Industry theme. She will share stories behind her whale carving display and also her previous experiences with her art shows throughout the world. It is our hope that community members will be enticed to continue this\ncraft. \nPotltoek Fishery Dome\n107 Fishery Rd\nPotlotek

SUMMARY:Living History\, 25 years after the Marshall decision
DESCRIPTION:The Marshall Case stands as a beacon in the history of Indigenous treaty rights in Canada\, its waves rippling through the legal and cultural landscape of our time. \nAt the heart of this landmark ruling is Donald Marshall Jr.\, a Mi’kmaw from Membertou\, Unama’ki\, Cape Breton\, whose name would come to echo through the chambers of justice and be embodied in Mi’kmaw youth on land and open waters. The decision upheld Indigenous rights to earn a livelihood from the harvest and sale of fish\, wildlife\, wild fruit and berries as set forth in the Peace and Friendship Treaties of 1760 and 1761. \nPhotographing and connecting with proud\, young Mi’kmaw harvesters\, conservationists\, and activists\, it was plain to see that Junior’s sacrifices were not in vain. Each face tells a story of enduring spirit within the community. \nLiving History is on at Eltuek Arts Centre in Sydney\, Unama’ki\, Cape Breton from Monday through Friday 9am-4pm and Saturday’s from 9am-3pm until November 29.\nFree. All are welcome. \nSteve Wadden is a settler photojournalist and avid fly fisher\, living and working in unceded and unsurrendered\, beautiful Unama’ki\, Cape Breton Island.

SUMMARY:Tuesday Night Talk\, free at the Maritime Museum of the Atlantic
DESCRIPTION:Mi’kmaw artists are creating a wide range of imaginative and beautiful work using the skills and traditions of basketry weaving given to them by their elders and ancestors. \nPeter J Clair is one of nine artists presented in The Art of Mi’kmaw Basketry (FORMAC publishing)\, which was released in 2023. \nPeter was among the first to break new ground in the 1980s when public interest was rising in Indigenous contemporary art. As a master sculptural weaver he uses natural materials to create thought-provoking pieces using traditional and contemporary forms. He often uses Black Ash\, willow and other tree barks. \nPeter is also a poet and fiction writer. As our guest speaker\, he will present in English\, with occasional commentary in Mi’kmaw.

SUMMARY:The Spirit of Annie Mae - an NFB Film Screening
DESCRIPTION:Join us for a National Film Board (NFB) movie at the library the 4th Thursday of the month! Bring snacks (peanut-free please)\, and all are welcome! \nThe Spirit of Annie Mae (2002 | 1 h 13 min) \nCatherine Anne Martin \nIn 1975\, Annie Mae Pictou Aquash\, a 30-year-old Nova Scotia born-Mi’kmaq\, was shot dead\, execution style\, on a desolate road in South Dakota. Nearly three decades later the crime remains a mystery. Aquash was highly placed in the American Indian Movement (AIM)\, a radical First Nations organization that took up arms in the 1970s to fight for the rights of their people. \nThe Spirit of Annie Mae is the story of Aquash’s remarkable life and her brutal murder. It is a moving tribute from the women who were closest to her: the two daughters who fled with their mother when she hid from the FBI; the young women she inspired to embrace Native culture; and the other activists\, including Buffy Sainte-Marie and investigative journalist Minnie Two Shoes\, who stood in solidarity with her. All are still trying to understand why she met such a violent death. Follow them on their journey as they celebrate the life of a woman who inspired a generation of Indigenous people.
