The National Day for Truth and Reconciliation on September 30 marks a moment to focus on the ongoing work of remembering the painful history of the Residential School system in Canada, honouring the Survivors, and untangling colonialism as we work toward a better future.

Sharing stories is one way we can reflect and connect as well as learn from one another.

Our colleagues at Plume Winnipeg will be launching the newly named Winnipeg Book Festival with a special project called Story Lodge. This important project features 7 Indigenous storytellers from across Turtle Island sharing their journey as storytellers.

Plume Winnipeg is thrilled to announce that the opening event for the Winnipeg Book Festival will be a premiere screening of two videos from the STORY LODGE project!

Join Rosanna Deerchild and contributors for this wonderful FREE premiere screening. 12:00 - 2:00PM at The Forks Event Space.

STORY LODGE is a seven-part video series that is part instructional, part inspirational. The series features Indigenous storytellers from across Turtle Island, each working in different literary mediums, styles and genres. These master storytellers share how they write, why they write and with a strong focus on telling stories through an Indigenous lens.

Story Lodge was co-created by Rosanna Deerchild (Cree) and Kim Wheeler (Anishinaabe/Mohawk) when they saw the need for Indigenous storytellers to have a space to share their journey as storytellers and to offer encouragement and instruction to Indigenous youth, especially those living outside of urban centres.
