Indigenous Winter Solstice Storytime
Sat, Dec 19 · 12:00 p.m.–2:00 p.m.
Downtown Branch · 49 Street, Red Deer
Immerse yourself in the enchanting tales of the Indigenous Winter Solstice. Gather around as we share stories that honor the deep connection between Indigenous communities and the changing seasons, fostering an appreciation for nature and heritage. Meet our special guest, Theresa “Corky” Larsen-Jonasson. Corky will introduce us to her traditions of oral winter storytelling. Theresa "Corky" Larsen-Jonasson is a proud Cree/Danish Métis Elder with roots in Red Deer and Maskwacis First Nations. She lives her life according to the traditional Indigenous teachings that saved her life. These teachings flow from her parents, her 93-year-old Kokom, Christine Joseph of Cochrane, aunties, uncles, as well as from the Goodstrikers, Williams, and John Crier families, all of whom she loves immensely.
