Amiskwaciy History Series: The Michel Band

Thursday 23 November 2017, 06:30pm - 08:30pm

Join Celina Loyer as she presents the story of the Michel Band. The session is part of the Amiskwaciy History Series.

Loyer is a member of Michel First Nation. In her role as an Aboriginal programmer at the Musée Héritage Museum in St. Albert, she worked with museum staff in developing an exhibition on the Michel First Nation.

Loyer is the daughter of Gilbert Anderson, a well-known local Métis fiddler, and Kathleen Steinhauer, who was from Saddle Lake First Nation.

The Amiskwaciy History Series is an Indigenous grassroots initiative aimed at building awareness around the often untold Indigenous history of the Edmonton area. Through free monthly educational sessions, the series aims to provide accessible and culturally appropriate education to the public on Indigenous history as lived and told by the people.
