Description:
Elder Ma-Nee Chacaby will be discussing some of the projects they have worked on such as the Pillar Project, which you can see outside the Museum. They will also discuss the work they do with students and teaching about love and respecting ourselves as well as working together day and night.
Speaker Bio:
As a child, Chacaby learned spiritual and cultural traditions from her beloved Cree grandmother and trapping, hunting, and bush survival skills from her Ojibwa stepfather. She developed warm friendships with some other children but also suffered physical and sexual abuse by different adults. In her teen years, Chacaby became an alcoholic herself, and, at twenty, she moved to Thunder Bay with her children to escape a violent husband. Abuse, compounded by racism, continued, but Chacaby found supports to help herself and others. Over the following decades, she achieved sobriety; trained and worked as an alcoholism counsellor; raised her children and fostered many others; learned to live with visual impairment; and came out as a lesbian. In 2014, Chacaby helped lead the first gay pride parade in Thunder Bay.
