The festival will feature the works and performances of people from Musqueam and from Indigenous communities across Turtle Island. Chan Centre’s curator-in-residence Jarrett Martineau said he hopes the festival can produce and highlight Indigenous pride and creative expression. The Museum of Anthropology will host Musqueam Teachings family workshops on both days of the festival between 11 a.m. to 1:30 p.m., consisting of hands-on activities for participants to learn about Musqueam history, language and culture. Saturday’s festivities will end with a concert performance hosted by Musqueam creator, actor and playwright Quelemia Sparrow, which will be held inside the Chan Shun Concert Hall in the Chan Centre at 7 p.m. The second day of the festival will feature a concert by Cree musician and activist Buffy Sainte-Marie, with complimentary tickets for Indigenous community-members.
