Elijah is a community member of Ahkwesahsne, is Mohawk Nation, and is of the wolf clan. She brings a wealth of knowledge to Brock from her lived experiences as a traditional person from Ahkwesahsne and will speak to the procedure of making black ash baskets and the Indigenous knowledge surrounding black ash baskets, which are made from the growth rings of the black ash tree.
The event is hosted by Brock Faculty of Education lecturer Stanley ‘Bobby’ Henry and will take place on the Lifesize streaming platform from 10 a.m. to noon.
