Movement as Medicine: Indigenous Perspectives on Physical Culture

Join us on June 17 for an online panel discussion featuring Indigenous researchers and thought leaders in an exploration of Indigenous physical activity, sport and wellness in Canada.

From Indigenous contributions to physical culture in Canada (such as the canoe, kayak, toboggan and the game of lacrosse) to the consumption of sport within the Indian Residential School System, the panelists will explore how Indigenous physical culture has influenced Canadian culture.

Don’t miss this riveting discussion that will root us in history while examining the connections to contemporary issues, from access to physical activity spaces to Indigenous athletes in high-performance sport.
