Small change to our speakers for our “Reuniting of Family You Never Knew You Had”. On Saturday, the Six Nations Library will be presenting in place of the Brantford Library (they will still have an information table), and on Sunday, Steven Lindsay-Maracle will be doing a second presentation in addition to his Saturday one.

Genealogy Event-Reuniting of family you never knew you had.
I just want to point out that although the Saturday registration for our event is full, Sunday is not just for children even though it is called Children’s Day It has the same exhibitor tables and two information speakers in the afternoon, just as Saturday does. Our morning speaker on Saturday is talking about the Great Peace and clans, and our morning speaker on Sunday is telling the Creation Story as it is told through the numbers 1–10. Both are good examples of our culture. On Sunday, we are providing paper and pens for the children to write their own family story to add to the ones posted in the museum, so we can emphasize the importance of sharing information through the generations. There will also be more traditional stories being told throughout Sunday by our morning speaker. Everyone can still visit the museum displays and the Mohawk Institute, just like Saturday. So there isn’t much difference between the two days. So, just because Saturday is full, doesn’t mean you shouldn’t attend on Children’s Day, because it is for everyone.
