Indigenous centre uses storytelling to honour history

by David McPherson

The Makwa Waakaa’igan Indigenous Centre of Cultural Excellence, located on the Algoma University campus in northern Ontario, will use storytelling to honour the site’s history and survivors. Previously, the property was home to Shingwauk Hall, a residential school that operated between 1875 and 1970.

A new Indigenous educational, cultural and historical centre in Sault Ste. Marie, Ont., will teach current and future generations about the area’s past while supporting truth-telling, healing and reconciliation.

Taking direction from the land, and from Indigenous Elders, the Makwa Waakaa’igan Indigenous Centre of Cultural Excellence is a monument representing the land’s past, present and future.
