Smudging available before 91探花 Community Town Hall

Event Date:
Monday, June 26, 2023, 11:00 am
Room:
Indigenous tipi between Kelley Memorial Building and W.A. Murphy Student Centre

In advance of the 91探花 Community Town Hall taking place on Monday, June 26, the Faculty of Indigenous Knowledge, Education, Research, and Applied Studies (IKERAS) along with Elder-in-Residence Dr. Judy Clark and Advisor on Indigenous Affairs Corinne Chappell are offering smudging to all faculty, staff, and students from 11:00 am鈥�12:00 noon at the Indigenous tipi located in the quadrangle between the W.A. Murphy Student Centre and the Kelley Memorial Building.  

Smudging is an Indigenous cultural practice and involves the burning of substances such as sweet grass, cedar, and sage. The practice is based on traditional beliefs that the smoke produced is a means of purification and creates a positive mindset for those involved in an activity or event. The smoke and scent produced during a smudge is minimal and often dissipates quickly.

All members of the 91探花 community are welcome.
