As part of the implementation plan for the Akak’stiman Indigenous Strategy, one of United Way’s key organizational commitments is to identify and co-create learning activities to build the internal capacity of United Way staff and external capacity with our partners.

When Berries and Medicines are Ripe” – Book Club “The Knowing by Tanya Talaga” will offer participants an opportunity to read the novel prior to the Book Club gathering, and meet to discuss the themes, learnings, and emotional responses to what they had read.

Please arrive a few minutes before the start time, to get settled so the facilitator can get started on time.

The session will begin with a smudge and blessing.

In the spirit of our journey to promote reconciliation, we would like to honour the truth of our shared history and acknowledge Treaty 7 territory and the traditional lands of the Blackfoot Confederacy, that includes the Kainai, Siksika, and Piikani First Nations. We acknowledge the traditional lands of the Tsuut'ina First Nation, and the Stoney Nakoda, including the Chiniki, Bearspaw, and Goodstoney First Nations. We would also like to recognize the Métis people, and the Inuit people who have made their home here in Moh'kins'tsis, also known as Calgary.
