Indigenous Sunday

Sherwood Park United Church will be welcoming Indigenous speaker, and historian, Amber Paquette, this Sunday, June 18.

Amber has roots in both the Papaschase and the Michel First Nation.

A Nehiyaw and Métis multi-disciplinary artist, researcher, filmmaker, and the 6th Historian Laureate for the City of Edmonton, she was born and raised in Amiskwaciwâskahikan (Beaver Hill House, Edmonton, Alberta.) Amber has worked as a researcher, story-teller, and Indigenous People’s Interpreter for several years. Her work with the public has centered on the historic representation of First Nations, Métis, and Inuit communities, who have lived on Treaty 6 Territory since time immemorial. She has a passion for exploring Indigenous history, lifeways, TEK (Traditional Ecological Knowledge) and the imprint of past human and ecological relationships on the landscape. Her topic on Sunday the 18^th will be “Traditional Indigenous Ecological Knowledge.”

Don’t miss it!
