Powerful Medicine: An Evening of Indigenous Stories

Powerful Medicine: An Evening of Indigenous Stories

Jennifer Hardwick, Department of English - jennifer.hardwick@kpu.ca

This evening featured five Indigenous speakers who shared their stories and their family’s stories.  They shared how colonialism affected their homes and the repercussions of society, and the generational trauma some of them have experienced.  The main audience was Dr. Hardwick’s class and these students were able to experience a different type of learning regarding Indigenous culture as well as a new respect for the trauma Indigenous people have faced (Oct 2018).
