Since 1970, the Elders and Traditional Peoples Gathering is held each year at Trent University in Nogojiwanong (Peterborough) Ontario. This 3-day event is an opportunity to listen and learn from the oral traditions of diverse Elders and traditional peoples, and share Indigenous Knowledge through keynote talks, workshops, presentations and vendors. I was honored and grateful for the invitation to showcase my book Ancient Spirit Rising at both the 2016 and 2017 gatherings.
