Indigenous Knowledges Gathering 2025 – What the Land Remembers: From Memory to Responsibility

Lunch & Learn: Connecting our Knowing
November 14 | 12:00 PM – 3:30 PM | Student Welcome & Resource Centre, 2nd Floor & Assembly Hall, 1 Colonel Samuel Smith Park Dr.

Join us for an afternoon of connection, reflection, and storytelling. We’ll begin with a community lunch at the Student Welcome & Resource Centre, followed by a special screening of The Eternal Song at the Assembly Hall.

Lunch will run from 12:00 - 1:00 PM and will be capped at 75 participants, so be sure to register early. If the lunch registration is full, you’re still welcome and encouraged to join us for the film screening at 1:30 PM.

Film Description: The Eternal Song, the first in a 12-film documentary series, is a cinematic journey through timeless lands and Indigenous cultures. Voices from across generations and traditions invite us to witness the enduring scars of colonization on lands and peoples, and the healing pathways carried through ancestral wisdom.

Entrusted with medicine stories, the film grapples with colonial legacies, intergenerational trauma, and the culture of separation that fragments our lives. The film reveals how modernity severs our connection to nature, each other, and the ancestral realm, while feeding us empty promises of salvation, unlimited consumption and economic growth, and individual happiness.

As we are drawn into the intricate web of kinship and honouring the living presence of Mother Earth, we awaken a deeper remembrance. A sacred dance comes to life and we begin to hear the eternal song of life itself, calling us back to belonging.
