In honour of the National Day for Truth and Reconciliation, Studio Bell will be open with free admission from 10 to 5 pm on September 30. Explore the Speak Up! exhibition and listen to powerful remarks by Elder Eldon Weasel Child.

National Day for Truth and Reconciliation serves as a powerful opportunity to recognize and reflect on the legacy of residential schools, and to listen, learn, and honour the voices of Indigenous people in Canada.

National Music Centre (NMC) is honoured to welcome Elder Eldon Weasel Child, a respected knowledge keeper of Blackfoot culture from the Siksika Nation and a member of NMC’s Indigenous Programming Advisory Committee. As a musician and cross-cultural educator, he brings a wealth of experience and insight into the importance of preserving Indigenous history and traditions.

Elder Eldon Weasel Child will deliver a special presentation at 12:00 pm, sharing his unique perspectives on Truth and Reconciliation, and emphasizing the critical role that cultural understanding plays in the healing process.
