Films for Truth and Reconciliation
Schedule
Tue Sep 30 2025 at 10:00 am to 03:00 pm
UTC-07:00Location
The Polygon Gallery | North Vancouver, BC
The Polygon Gallery is observing the National Day for Truth and Reconciliation with the help of films from the NFB. These films highlight the resilience of Indigenous peoples in Canada, who have endured systemic oppression and cultural genocide. The residential school system forcibly removed children from their families, banning their languages and traditions, and subjecting many to abuse in an effort to erase Indigenous communities.
Curated by Joelle Johnston, Indigenous Liaison and Community Outreach, with Daniel Pickering, Audiovisual Assistant/Canada Summer Jobs
