Everyone is welcome to join us on the land for the opportunity to learn from Gilbert Kewistep, Elder, Knowledge Keeper, Residential School Survivor, and faculty member at the First Nations University of Canada.

We also invite writers, artmakers and musicians to draw inspiration from the physical experience of being on the land and learning the stories of the land. The challenge is to create a piece of work using that inspiration and, through the process, to explore the relation to reconciliation in lives and communities.

After the winter holiday season (mid January or early February), we will regroup to share what was created. We realize that everyone works at different paces and so the projects may not be finished, but if the creators are willing to share the work at whatever stage it’s in, it would provide an interesting insight into the creative process.

The Original Humboldt site is located 8 kms west and 3 kms south of Humboldt on Telegraph Road.

There will be drinking water and light snacks available on site, as well as portapotty facilities.
