The Huntsville Public Library, Hope Arises Project, the Algonquin Theatre and the Town of Huntsville are committed to keeping the reconciliation process alive. Come gather, march and stand in solidarity this September. Monday, September 30

  • 10:45 AM – Gather at River Mill Park.
  • 11 AM – March downtown Huntsville.
  • 12 – 1 PM – Special Guest Speaker at River Mill Park.

In the evening, The Nature of Healing will be screened at the Algonquin Theatre. Doors Open at 6 PM. Screening at 7 PM. Q&A 8:30-9:00 PM The Nature of Healing is the spoken truth of seven courageous people who survived the Mohawk Institute, Canada’s first and longest running “Indian” residential school. From victim to survivor, to activist, this is a story of resistance, resilience and a healing path. The Elders, Grandfathers, and Grandmothers who share their story do so not only for themselves but for the thousands of children across Turtle Island who never could. May we be open to learn, intently listen and may they continue to teach. Directed by Faith Leone Howe | Click to Learn More About the Film Tickets are $10 and you can purchase them by clicking HERE.
