Relationship Building and Reconciliation through Living Heritage<\/em> Pilot Project Page.<\/h6>\n

In January 2023, a year-long pilot program called “Relationship Building and Reconciliation through Living Heritage” commenced through funding through the Community Initiatives Fund. This pilot was developed in partnership by Heritage Saskatchewan with the Office of the Treaty Commissioner (OTC) and Aboriginal Friendship Centres. This program will be grounded in the local context of the Humboldt region through the Museum re-design of exhibit storylines. <\/p>\n

Inspired by the Truth and Reconciliation Commission (TRC) of Canada’s Calls to Action and the United Nations Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples (UNDRIP) this four-part cyclical process is the result of conversations and feedback from communities who need help implementing calls from the TRC and UNDRIP in meaningful ways.<\/p>\n

Check back often for updates on this unique partnership between Heritage Saskatchewan, the Office of the Treaty Commissioner, Aboriginal Friendship Centres of Saskatoon, and the City of Humboldt.<\/p>\n

Land Based Learning at Original Humboldt, 2:00 p.m. (weather permitting)
Inspiration\/Reconciliation\/Relationship Building<\/p>\n

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.<\/p>\n

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.<\/p>\n

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\u2019s in, it would provide an interesting insight into the creative process.<\/p>\n

The Original Humboldt site is located 8 kms west and 3 kms south of Humboldt on Telegraph Road.<\/p>\n

There will be drinking water and light snacks available on site, as well as portapotty facilities.<\/p>\n

Long before contact, Indigenous peoples in Canada mastered the art of pottery making. Archaeologists have long studied these pots to learn about different groups of people and how they lived. Please join Dr. Jill Taylor-Hollings as she shares her knowledge of Saskatchewan precontact pottery and learn this crafting tradition by making your own mini and full-size pot. All materials are provided.<\/span><\/div>\n
 <\/div>\n
Dr. Taylor-Hollings is currently a Postdoctoral Fellow at Lakehead University and President of the Ontario Archaeological Society. She is part of the archaeology team of the Six Seasons of the Asiniskaw Ithniniwak project that recently published Am\u014d\u2019s Sapotawan \u2013 an award-winning picture book telling the story of a young Rocky Cree girl learning how to make baskets and pottery.<\/span><\/div>\n
