Join local First Nations Elder Dr. Lyle Keewatin Richards DSL and Edmonton Film Teacher from the K-12 Victoria School of the Arts Chris Aanderson (who grew up in Red Deer and operates his family farm there) to share knowledge about Canada's deadliest Residential School per population, the Red Deer Indian Industrial School, and our hope for the future with reconciliation leading to action. This documentary film is available to be used in classes for free as a student friendly way for Social Studies and Indigenous Studies classes to learn about their local history when it comes to Residential Schools. CTS teachers can also hear about how the film was made with Indigenous and non-Indigenous Jr High and High School students providing their film services to the non-profit "Remembering the Children Society" and the opportunities that provided to engage students in positive reconciliation.

This 120min time slot will start with introductions, and then a showing of the 64min film, then we will have an hour long Q&A with Elder Lyle, Chris, and the Director Penny.
