SUMMARY:Thunder Bay Museum Virtual Lecture: OHT CEO Beth Hanna – The Path to a More Inclusive Narrative: Sharing Experiences
DESCRIPTION:This lecture will be presented virtually with no in person component. \nCLICK HERE to watch the free webinar!\nIn recent years the Ontario Heritage Trust has designed programs and partnerships to create a more inclusive discussion of heritage\, to expand the historical narrative in Ontario using land protection and stewardship\, public programs and its social media platforms to explore new approaches to the work we do.

Drawing from specific examples of programs and property protection\, and sharing lessons learned from collaborations with Indigenous nations and racialized communities\, Beth will discuss some thinking on new initiatives along with the joys and challenges of the Trust’s work to design protection practices and interpretation approaches that are more honest and inclusive. \nBeth Hanna is Chief Executive Officer of the Ontario Heritage Trust. She has a wealth of experience in the design and delivery of inclusive\, multi-faceted public programs and the creation of integrated approaches to the conservation and stewardship of heritage – cultural and natural\, tangible and intangible. She is passionate about giving voice to the diversity of experiences\, traditions\, and histories of Ontario’s peoples and communities.

DESCRIPTION:This short documentary examines the role of corn in the lives of Indigenous peoples in the Americas. Before colonization\, corn was widely used as a beverage\, a food staple\, an oil\, and a ceremonial object. It was respected and revered as a critical part of creation. This film explores the powerful bond and spiritual relationship that continues to exist between people and corn. \nCombining interviews\, dance\, and song\, The Gift captures the traditional\, spiritual\, economic\, and political importance of this sacred plant. \nThis online gathering is a chance for us to watch movies together\, even when we can’t go to the movies or to an in person film screening. \nMake your popcorn at home and cozy up with us every other month for this ongoing series.

SUMMARY:Town of York Historical Society Fall Author Series: Ann Birch ("Settlement")
DESCRIPTION:Join us on October 21st for the next evening in our author’s series! \nIt’s common for people to tell you to write about what you know. But Ann Birch chooses to write—in three of her four novels– about real historical people who lived in York (early Toronto) in the late 1700s and early 1800s. Since she was not living at this time\, she has had to learn how to recreate a long-gone world and the people who lived in it. \nIn this presentation\, Ann will share about delving into primary sources like letters and diaries written about and by her main characters. She will also discuss the necessity of turning to secondary sources: the innumerable tomes available on the social history of the times and the people who inhabited this world. But there are many spaces omitted by historians and by the characters themselves\, and here’s where an author must be diligent in filling these spaces. Ann will talk about her constant effort to be authentic in her writing of historical fiction about York.
