SUGARCANE, the debut feature documentary from Julian Brave NoiseCat and Emily Kassie, is an epic cinematic portrait of a community during a moment of international reckoning. This film is rated R and guests under 17 require an accompanying parent or adult guardian. Drop-ins are permitted if space is available.
Fish leather wallet workshop
Saturday, Sept. 27, 10:30 a.m. – noon
The ocean is vital for Coast Salish communities and many have ceremonies or cultural practices surrounding the ocean as well as the sea life. In the Squamish Nation, there is an annual Honouring the Salmon Ceremony to thank the fish and pray for their annual return. Join us in recognition of this ceremony that often takes place throughout the season of July-September by making your own fish leather wallet.
Seniors may also be interested in the fish leather wallet workshop featured in the December 9 senior's gathering.
Indigenous history and culture series
Saturday, Sept. 27, 2 – 3 p.m.
Join us in this monthly series with our Indigenous Cultural Programmer and Squamish Ocean Canoe Family member, Kenny Nahenee "Chief", to learn more about local Indigenous communities and the history of the traditional territory on which we are situated.
