Today is National Indigenous Peoples Day - a day to celebrate and honour the histories of the many Indigenous groups who have lived on and cared for this land since time immemorial. We invite you to take some time today to listen, learn, and celebrate alongside Indigenous Peoples.

As a museum dedicated to preserving local heritage, Strathma is committed to centering Indigenous voices in our exhibits and programs. Currently, we are proud to be hosting a travelling exhibit called Cree: The Peoples’ Language. We also showcase Indigenous history and culture in our Touches the Earth, Echoing Sky Lodge and we aim to include Indigenous perspectives throughout our museum and programs. It is important to us that all people who have called this land home feel represented and valued. We are all Treaty People, and we are responsible to each other, the land, its resources, and to Treaty 6.

Last week we held the last Homeschool Drop-in program of the year!

Our students learned all about the great outdoors - from survival tips to insect identification and gardening. We also celebrated the beginning of summer by making homemade ice cream, just like pioneers did a hundred years ago! Thank you to everyone who attended our homeschool program this year.
