Making a World of Difference

Role of Elders within Indigenous Communities

May 25, 2022 Noon to 1:30 p.m.

The Indigenous Social Work Circle and Lodge, in the Faculty of Social Work, is pleased to present the next edition in their Indigenous Ways of Knowing series.

This webinar with Cree Elder Leona Carter will lead us in further understanding of the Role of Elders within Indigenous Communities. Most Elders from Indigenous communities have common cultural knowledge, but many have specific knowledge/expertise and sought after for their advice and council, or for spiritual ceremonies.  Leona will bring awareness to these special gifts that Elders share with their communities, and how we can acknowledge and build relationships with Elders in a respectful and reciprocal good way.
