New Website

We are excited to let you know that the library will be moving to a new website in the coming weeks – but our web address is staying the same! While it may look different, you can still find all of the same great resources in one convenient place.

Join us in the program room throughout June for screenings of films provided by The National Film Board of Canada in celebration of National Indigenous History Month.

First Nations films: 

Wednesday, June 8: 6-6:45pm

  • Stories Are in Our Bones (11 min)  In this layered short film, filmmaker Janine Windolph takes her young sons fishing with their kokum (grandmother), a residential school survivor who retains a deep knowledge and memory of the land. The act of reconnecting with their homeland is a cultural and familial healing journey for the boys, who are growing up in the city. It’s also a powerful form of resistance for the women.
  • Mary Two-Axe Earley: I Am Indian Again (34 min)  Using never-before-seen archival footage and audio recordings, Mohawk filmmaker Courtney Montour engages in a deeply personal conversation with the late Mohawk woman who challenged sexist and genocidal government policies that stripped First Nations women and children of their Indian status when they married non-Indian men.

Free.  Coffee and tea provided.
