The teachings of Love, Honesty, Courage, Truth, Humility, Respect, and Wisdom are ubiquitous, plastered across colourful posters in classrooms all across Canada, but are they truly understood? Explore the Seven Sacred Teachings by examining these English words but from the language of their Origin – Aanishinaabemowin.

The night will also include a musical performance from Willie Thrasher & Linda Saddleback. A trailblazing troubadour with an Indigenous heartbeat sound, Inuvaluit singer-songwriter Willie Thrasher is a legend of Indigenous folk-rock music. Thrasher has been performing his songs since the 1970s, joined by his partner Linda Saddleback for the last 15 years. Thrasher and Saddleback travel and perform sharing their songs and joy with audiences around the world.
