"Walk a Mile in My Moccasins"
Courtesy of the Museum.
Featuring 18 unique and inspiring stories, this exhibit offers insights into the paths walked every day by members of Kainai and Piikani Nations. By placing these stories on the floor of the museum, alongside photos of the participants’ moccasins, visitors are invited to take a few moments to walk alongside their Niitsitapi neighbours and listen to their stories.
Using moccasin designs as an identifier, this exhibit highlights Niitsitapi strength and resiliency. Members of the Kainai and Piikani Nations have provided the history of their moccasin designs and their importance to multiple generations. Some outline challenges they have overcome, while others shine a spotlight on their accomplishments.
Following close behind Truth and Reconciliation week, this exhibit provides an important reminder that reconciliation is an ongoing effort that persists year-round.
