About this Event

Join us at Salle Plateforme aux Rotondes for next Expressions of Humanity event.

Passing the Torch.

Conference with poignant testimonies from First Nations delegates from British Columbia, on the subject of the residential schools system for children and the movement of Murdered and Missing Indigenous Women and Girls (MMIWG) in Canada.


Doors open: 18:30

Start of the Conference: 19:00

Languages: English (and French)
Interpretation from English to French by ASTI.


The recent discovery of unmarked graves of children has again brought international attention to this sad and cruel part of Canadian history which continues to have severe social impact on the First Nations and Inuit of Canada.

The objective is to raise awareness about the link between colonization and systemic discrimination, abuse and violence against women and children, and the traumas that still affect First Nations and the Inuit of Canada today. Calls for action will be discussed to overcome trauma and continue a real process of awareness, healing and reconciliation.

We are pleased to welcome:

Rhoda Peters, former Chief of Chawathil First Nation (Vancouver), co-founder and president of the Sts'elemqw Thrivers Society, an association that represents and supports residential school survivors and their families.

Lyn Kay (Kaysewaysemat), of Cree and Objiway descent, MMIWG activist and fashion designer. Her creations are based on the theme of missing and murdered Indigenous women and girls in Canada.

Excerpts from the book "Passing the Torch" by Bea Silver, former teacher, author, and founder of the Sts'elemqw Thrivers Society, will be read.

A fashion show by Lyn Kay will close the evening.


Event organised in collaboration with La Robe Rouge, a project created by the Inuit-European artist Heather Carroll, with the goal of increasing awareness and establishing a platform for dialogue and information based on the impact of colonization on the First Nations and Inuit of Canada.


La Robe Rouge is a travelling exhibition/installation about gender violence, more specifically the Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women and Girls (MMIWG) issue in Canada, and the autochthonous children buried in unmarked graves, victims of the residential school system in Canada.
