[BNS_members] Meeting reminder and articles

[Riley Scanlan]

Hi everyone,

This is a reminder about our upcoming general meeting. We are very happy to
have Carolyn Landry speaking to us this coming Monday in honour of Mi'kmaq
Heritage Month. Carolyn is from the Annapolis Valley and holds a Master's
Degree in Sociology from Acadia University (2011). She is an entrepreneur
with her own business, Redfeather’s Native Art. Carolyn specializes in
Cultural Competency, Cultural Teachings, Cultural Consulting and Workshops
including Drum Building and Moccasin Making with reconciliation at the
heart of all her work. She also contributes to the local community through
Centrestage Theatre and has served on the Central Kings Community Health
Board.  Carolyn embraces the 7 Sacred Teachings taught to her by her
ancestors, children, grandchildren, and Mother Earth. She will speak of her
journey to honour the ancient ways of the teachings in order to reconcile
with herself and Nature.
