Celebrating National Aboriginal History Month and Day

Members of the Queen's community recently gathered at Four Directions Aboriginal Student Centre for the first documentary movie screening to celebrate National Aboriginal History Month. They watched Club Native, a film directed by Tracy Deer that examines the history and present-day reality of Aboriginal identity.

Four Directions Aboriginal Student Centre (FDASC) is hosting documentary screenings during lunch hour to mark National Aboriginal History Month. The screening of Little Caughnawaga: To Brooklyn and Back, an exploration of the Mohawk community in Brooklyn, New York, that flourished between 1920 and 1960, takes place on Wednesday, June 27. National Aboriginal Day celebrations in Springer Market Square today include teachings, shawl dancing, singing, children’s crafts, a sacred fire and the big drum. National Aboriginal Day celebrates cultures and contributions of Canada’s First Nations, Inuit and Métis peoples.
