On September 8th “Becoming Nakuset” will be hosted by United in Learning in partnership with Indigenous Ministries and Justice and Shining Waters Regional Council. It is an important award-winning short documentary of one woman’s experience of the Sixties Scoop, and a story that needs to be known in the non-Indigenous church. The film will be followed by a listening circle led by Tony Snow, Chinook Winds Regional Council.
Advance registration now open and a resource list will be sent to each registrant.
A special worship service was created with ecumenical and interfaith leadership for August 1, 2021, the first federally recognized Emancipation Day throughout Canada. Emancipation Day we remember that on August 1, 1834 when the Slavery Abolition Act of 1833 came into effect, putting an end to legalized enslavement of people of African and Indigenous ancestry in the territory now known as Canada. This ecumenical service can be used in February (African Heritage Month/Black History Month), or any week to celebrate African heritage, human rights and anti-racism.
The service was created by an interfaith group with financial support from member churches of the Canadian Council of Churches. United Church of Canada support included financial support from the regional councils of Antler River Watershed, Horseshoe Falls and Western Ontario Waterways.
