Join us to celebrate National Indigenous People’s Day. Learn about a project working to “re-neighbour” Haundenosaunee and Inuit communities impacted historically by the local residential school and Hamilton Mountain TB Sanatorium. Art created by Inuit patients of “the San” will be available for viewing.


Keynote Speaker:


Vanessa Watts is an Associate Professor and Paul R. MacPherson Chair in Indigenous Studies at McMaster University. She is the lead researcher on “Re-neighbouring as Reconciliation,” a 5-year project funded by the National Centre for Truth and Reconciliation and the Social Sciences and Humanities Research Council of Canada.


Event will be held at the Art Gallery of Hamilton (AGH) Tanenbaum Pavilion, 123 King St W, Hamilton, ON, L8P 4S8. The AGH is located one block from the MacNab St HSR terminal. Parking is also available in garages and lots nearby; for more information, see: https://www.artgalleryofhamilton.com/plan-your-visit/
