The Moccasin Talks Speaker Series explores a wide range of Indigenous issues involving history, cultural practices and protocols, and contemporary issues during interactive and poignant community dialogues at libraries and community centres. These talks are led by Indigenous elders, scholars, professionals, residential school survivors, and a host of conveners with stories to tell. The Moccasin Talks aim to advance reconciliation by examining the relationship between indigenous peoples and Canadian society.

Audience members have the opportunity to interact during the Q&A and are encouraged to ask questions which seek to bring clarity to people about some very difficult realities we all need to face together in order to move forward in strength, peace, harmony, friendship, and unity. Implementation of this series and other integrated programming has been conducted in partnership with the Niagara-on-the-Lake Public Library, Niagara Falls History Museum, Niagara Falls Public Library, and St. Catharines Public Library.

Implementation of this series and other integrated programming may be tailored to meet the partner’s needs and focus.
