Nationhood Interrupted: Revitalizing nêhiyaw Legal Systems: Traditionally and through custom, nêhiyaw (Cree) laws are shared and passed down through the generations in the oral tradition, utilizing stories, songs, ceremonies, lands, waters, animals, land markings and other sacred rites. The loss of the languages, customs, and traditions of Indigenous peoples as a direct result of colonization has necessitated this departure from the oral tradition to record the physical laws of the nêhiyaw, for the spiritual laws can never be written down. As a result, Sylvia McAdam's book is the first of its kind.

WHEN: Wednesday, March 29, 4:00 to 6:00 PM
WHERE: Theatre of the Arts, ML
