February 4: Nora McAdam
Nora McAdam is a published author and actress who has had success in Hollywood. Her Cree name is Sitting on Mother Earth and she was raised to follow the spiritual ways of her ancestors. Through her eloquent words in her book Awaken Waniska she explores the connection between humanity, nature and the Great Great father. She wants the audience to awaken the warrior within, to unlock the light within your soul, learn about the old ways and discover the power of self-discovery.
February 11: Floyd Favel
Floyd Favel is the founder and director of the Poundmaker Indigenous Performance Festival and is a script writer and producer. He has revived Plains Indian Sign Language (PISL) and holds workshops each summer at the annual festival on Poundmaker Cree Nation. PISL has been a recognized language by the Canadian government since 2019, but it is an ancient language or common tongue that was used by generations of Indigenous peoples across the vast Great Plains area of North America to communicate with each other when they did not share a spoken language.
Floyd Favel is a great storyteller and will talk about PISL (Plains Indian Sign Language) and share some signs and tell some funny stories. It will definitely be full of Indigenous knowledge and humor.
February 25: Novalee Fox
Novalee Fox is an Indigenous content creator, comedian and storyteller from Ochapowace First Nation who uses social media to promote Cree language, cultural pride, and healthy living. She grew up surrounded by Cree speakers, and although her own life led her through addictions, street life and time in institutions, she never lost the teachings carried by her people. Through ceremony, language and culture, she found her way back to herself. Humour became her medicine – a way to transform pain into laughter, grief into healing and survival into hope. She shows us that even in the face of intergenerational trauma, resilience and healing are possible. Her voice carries the legacy of oral tradition, the medicine of laughter, and the strength of her ancestors.
Please join us for these captivating and thought-provoking talks.
