Mi'kmaq Creation Stories with Poetry and Song

April 10, 2025 | 6:00 PM

Julie Pellissier-Lush, the first Indigenous Poet Laureate for Prince Edward Island, relates some of the “Seven Generations” stories about how the Mi’kmaq People came into being. Woven into these stories

are songs accompanied with drumming and poetry that might inspire creative energy to start your own work in getting to know who you are and where you come from.

Come for the stories, drumming and the fun, learn in a safe place, and take away with you anything that resonates in your heart, your mind and your spirit.

This event is free, ADA accessible, and open to the public.
