Recognize the diverse histories, heritage and cultures of First Nations, Inuit and Métis in Canada during the ceremonial opening of the Indigenous Medicine Garden at the King Heritage & Cultural Centre! This free event—featuring Indigenous speakers, artists and drummer—takes place on Saturday, Jun. 14 from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. at the King Heritage & Cultural Centre.
Join us in community as we open the Garden with partner and medicine woman Tanya Gluvakov, knowledge keeper Asha Frost, and Drummer Rollin Baldhead. Tour the space and experience the Butterfly “Memengwaa” Trail Marker by artist Donald Chretien, now proudly installed at what will be the heart of the new Indigenous Medicine Garden.
Contribute to the Indigenous Medicine Garden by planting soil and designing your own garden stones, which will become part of the living installation.
Free admission, food, and refreshments. Drop-ins welcome.
The Truth & Reconciliation mural (located on the museum’s east-facing exterior wall) is still a work-in-progress and will be unveiled closer to National Day for Truth and Reconciliation.
This is an outdoor event - rain or shine.
All are welcome!
Note: Free on-site parking at the King Heritage and Cultural Centre is available but limited. Overflow street parking is available behind the site.
This project is funded in part by the Government of Canada.
