The theme of this special Earth Day Tellaround is Reflections of my Family's Relationship with the Land.

It will be led by Indigenous Storyteller Cheryle Greyeyes from Muskeg Lake Cree Nation, Treaty 6, Saskatchewan. Open to everyone with ears to hear and a story to tell. First-timers, experienced tellers and listeners are welcome! Participants are encouraged to bring personal stories, stories from a relative, or family member to share with the group.

Cheryle is a proud member of Muskeg Lake Cree Nation, Treaty 6, Saskatchewan.
