Seeking âsokanihkew – a conversation about bridging 40 years of copyright and First Nation’s knowledge
March 5, 2025 @ 8:30 pm - 9:30 pm GMT
In the late 1980s, Alexander Wolfe wanted to save his family and community oral tradition stories, so he wrote a book called “Earth Elder Stories.” Harvey Knight from Muskoday First Nation assisted in the writing of the book.
Harvey will talk about the book’s history (why oral tradition was committed to print) and discuss how oral tradition stories should be used in libraries and communities now and in the future. Andrea Jonasson, a Saskatchewan Polytechnic instructor, will talk about her experience using the stories in her classroom.
Participants are invited to bring their experiences with using traditional knowledge in the classroom.
