Negahneewin Reading Series Expands to Cambrian College

This February, the Paterson Library has invited Cambrian College to join the Negahneewin Reading Series Book Club Chat!

The Negahneewin Reading Series (NRS) is a staff book club founded by the Paterson Library and the Negahneewin Research Centre at Confederation College.

The NRS celebrates Indigenous voices through a variety of literature. The book club allows staff to learn about Indigenous culture and the Indigenous experience of Canada and the world through storytelling. The book club gatherings involve important conversations about colonization, racism, intergenerational trauma, the need for a culturally relevant curriculum, acknowledging Indigenous worldview, and creating spaces for cultural exploration at the College. The chats also provide an opportunity for each participant to examine their own personal bias and equip themselves with the knowledge and confidence to tackle similar conversations in their personal lives and the classroom.

In the spirit of Negahneewin, the Paterson Library will actively pursuing opportunities to expand our efforts to decolonize and advance Indigenous education to include colleagues at other Northern Colleges in 2022, starting with Cambrian.

We encourage you to join us!
