Vancouver Island Pagan Pride welcomes Drumming & Storytelling with Mizz Rory!
Stories of ancient times and a hidden history of Reconciliation and the connection of drumming to it all. Participating with a smudge and meditation, you will take a step along your own path to reconciliation.
‘Mizz’ Rory of Tricoz Productions is a transgender two-spirit Cree/Mètis woman. Her pronouns are “two” and “sheim” (like she and him: sheim). Sheim traces her ReconciliACTION work to following in the footsteps of her father, Wesley Lyle Keewatin Richards, a survivor of the 60’s Scoop in Alberta, a Doctor of Sacred Letters (honoris causa) from St. Stephen’s College in Edmonton, and an activist-elder. Keeping ties with her relatives on ᐅᑭᓃᐢ (Okanese) Cree lands in Saskatchewan, Rory now lives with her queer-platonic life partner and Sphynx cat in Ladysmith, BC, on Quw’utsun (Cowichan) territory. Kinâskômatîn (Cree for thank you) from Mizz Rory!
Visit Mizz Rory online, and attend the workshop in person at Vancouver Island Pagan Pride Day at Charles Hoey Park in Duncan on August 12th!
