Elder's Panel - "Creation Stories from Across the Territory"
We are back with the third iteration of the annual FNPLW Elder’s Panel. This year, the panel is titled “Creation Stories from Across the Territory” and features three Elders from separate territories discussing the importance of traditional Indigenous knowledge and history. The “living library” recording features Larry Copegog (Beausoleil First Nation), Jamie Maracle (Tyendinaga Mohawk Territory), and Leonard Naveau Sr. (Mattagami First Nation).
