Stitch by Stitch
2:00-3:00pm  |  Ages 4-8
Join us for a reading of "The Secret Pocket" by author Peggy Janicki. This book is based on the author’s mother’s experience at residential school. It is a story of survival and resilience in the face of genocide and cruelty. It is a story of quiet resistance to the injustice of residential schools that tells of the sewing skills passed down through generations of Indigenous women that gave these girls a future, stitch by stitch.

Gifts of Knowing
3:15-4:15pm  |  Ages 11-15
Join author Eldon Yellowhorn as he explains the world around us in Indigenous terms.

Presented in partnership with Word Vancouver.
