Join the Irondequoit Public Library, the Town of Irondequoit, and the filmmakers from the Our Voices Project on Thursday, October 10, at 6:30 PM, for a screening of This is My Grandmother: Bev & Carol followed by a panel discussion.

This is My Grandmother: Bev & Carol chronicles the stories of two Indigenous families, one from the Oneida Nation of Wisconsin and one from the Tuscarora Nation. These stories, told across three generations, cover growing up both on and outside of the reservation; traditions and cultural norms; and the lack of Indigenous history in classrooms.

This is My Grandmother: Bev & Carol has a runtime of 15 minutes, and you can view a trailer now on YouTube.

A panel discussion immediately following the film will feature educators Catherine Shutt, Oneida Nation of Wisconsin, and Trish Corcoran, Tonawanda Onödowága, Bear Clan, who will share approaches to teaching Indigenous history and culture.

Attendees will also learn how they can support Indigenous educators and creatives as guests from the Indigenous Peoples Day Committee and Native Made Market will be available.

No registration is required to attend the documentary screening or the panel discussion, so please join us if you can!
