Speaker Zabrina Whitman says Canadian society needs to respect aboriginal rights to live differently
A gathering at Acadia University this week is welcoming aboriginal and non-aboriginal academics and artists from across Canada.
It’s the third annual Aboriginal Arts Mawio’mi. Mawio’mi means “gathering place” in Mi’kmaq.
The theme of this year’s get-together is: “How can we co-exist, in a just and peaceful way, with the Land and within ourselves and each other as humans?”
Zabrina Whitman and Hannah Wyile are both attending the Mawio’mi and made a presentation together. Wyile is doing her PhD at the University of Ottawa on aboriginal reconciliation and Whitman is researching traditional knowledge and management of natural resources.
