Mallory Eaglewood’s paternal grandparents shared a wound – both of them were forced to leave their families as children to assimilate into a culture that wasn’t theirs. But one was a White man, and one was a Native woman, meaning the grandmother’s history and culture were secret, not to be spoken of in public. Their stories are shared by hundreds of thousands of people throughout North America. Mallory will share her grandparents’ history and its impact on her own life as a Canadian.

***MALLORY WILL JOIN VIA ZOOM–WE ARE STILL MEETING IN PERSON THOUGH!
