For generations, the suffering of residential school Survivors has radiated outward, impacting Indigenous families and communities. Dr. Jules Arita Koostachin’s deeply personal documentary WaaPaKe (Tomorrow) moves beyond intergenerational trauma, with an invitation to unravel the tangled threads of silence and unite in collective freedom and power.
Monday, September 30 is the National Day for Truth and Reconciliation, and no classes are scheduled. The university is open and active with programming related to the commemoration, and students, staff and faculty are encouraged to take part in this important collective commemoration, and refrain from booking meetings. Final Monday classes for the Fall term will be held on Wednesday, December 4, 2024.
