MUSÉE DES ABÉNAKIS | PROGRAMMATION 2020 (In French only)

By |February 20th, 2020|

Le Musée des Abénakis est fier de présenter sa programmation d’expositions pour l’année 2020. 

Les Mondes de la nuit – jusqu’au 8 janvier 2021

Les plus belles histoires se racontent la nuit, alors que l’atmosphère est chargée de mystères et que votre esprit est prêt à vivre une gamme d’émotions. Errez dans l’ambiance claire obscure de l’exposition Les mondes de la nuit et découvrez ce qui se passe dans votre cerveau et à l’extérieur, alors que le soleil est couché. Assurément, vous ne fermerez pas l’œil de la nuit!

Les mondes de la nuit, produite par le Musée de la nature et des sciences de Sherbrooke, mise sur l’ambiance claire obscure pour faire vivre une expérience amusante et enrichissante.   Les enfants pourront enfin passer la nuit debout, faire du camping sous les étoiles, jouer à cache-cache dans le labyrinthe et s’amuser avec des peluches d’animaux du désert.

Tolakonutome. Elle raconte une histoire – jusqu’au 11 décembre 2020

À travers 20 œuvres qui regroupent des peintures et des œuvres sur papier, l’artiste malécite, Ginette Kakakos Aubin, nous guide à travers sa propre histoire. Cette exposition est fondée sur l’exploration des origines autochtones de l’artiste — une véritable recherche de ses racines culturelles et de leur actualisation. Ses œuvres sont inspirées des arts primitifs, des objets, des vêtements et de la broderie de ses ancêtres qui lui servent également de catalyseurs de création.

Forte de ses nombreuses participations à des expositions solos et collectives, au Canada, aux États-Unis et en Europe Ginette Kakakos Aubin a su se démarquer grâce à la qualité et l’authenticité de ses œuvres et à sa présence active au sein du milieu artistique québécois.

By |January 21st, 2020|

It is with great pleasure that Kiuna College launched Skamon Childhood Services on January 20, 2020.

Established by the First Nations Education Council in 2011, the Kiuna Institution aims to improve educational success and to increase higher educational levels by providing a stimulating learning environment that respects the values and traditions of First Nations.

In keeping with Kiuna’s mission and with the instrumental support of their partners, they have established Skamon Childhood Services. The word Skamon means corn in the Abenaki language. Echoing the traditional use of corn plants by the Abenaki, Skamon Services are intended to be an enabler of growth and resilience for the children as well as the accompanying student-parents.

More specifically, the children of their students will now have access to specialized services such as:

NOTICE TO ODANAK BAND MEMBERS | CLASS ACTION FOR FEDERAL INDIAN DAY SCHOOLS

By |November 28th, 2019|

This notice concerns the compensation for survivors who attended federal Indian day schools or federal day schools funded, managed and controlled by Canada and listed such as St. Francis Academy (St. Joseph Academy), Pierreville Anglican/Protestant Abenaki Indian School, St. Francis Protestant, Anglican Church and St. Joseph’s.

The claim process was expected to commence on or about November 19, 2019, but due to a legal challenge to the Indian day-school regulations on the part of David Schulze (Partner, Dionne Schulze, S.E.N.C.S) on behalf of his client, a group member, the claims process is delayed for an indefinite period.

As soon as we get more information on this subject, we will keep you informed.

If you have questions or need support, please dial 1-844-539-3815.
