N.B. Library launching Aboriginal Storytelling Month
Area residents will have a chance to learn more about Indigenous culture as the North Battleford Library launches Saskatchewan Aboriginal Storytelling (SAS) Month this year.
The library will work in conjunction with the Library Services for Saskatchewan Aboriginal Peoples (LSSAP) to host the event. Head librarian Richard Bee said stories are a “very strong way of being able to convey identity and where individuals come from.”
“For us to be able to host the launch for the event, especially with regards to Aboriginal storytelling, for First Nations and Métis People, I feel that’s something that fits very well with the library’s mandate. It’s something that is very helpful for the community at large to be involved with,” he added.
For the launch on Feb. 1, there will be an opening ceremony in which some guest speakers will bring greetings.
