Fwd: Inuvialuit at the Smithsonian - November 7, 7pm, Northern Life Museum

Sent on Behalf of Sarah Rosolen at Aurora College:

 

The Aurora College-Parks Canada Speaker Series is proud to present "Inuvialuit at the Smithsonian, Connecting the Present and the Past" on November 7 at the Northern Life Museum.  In the mid-1860s, the Smithsonian Institution collected clothing, tools, art and other objects from Inuvialuit who lived near the Anderson River area, in what is now the Northwest Territories.  In 2009 a delegation of Inuvialuit elders, youth and educators travelled to Washington, DC to see the collection, and to explore ways for Inuvialuit to share information about the objects that had been inaccessible to them for 150 years. 

 

Join Charles Arnold, past curator of the Prince of Wales Northern Heritage Centre in Yellowknife, and Mervin Joe a member of the Inuvialuit delegation and Parks Canada employee, as they share their experiences of this visit and how they are connecting the Inuvialuit community to the collection and to a way of life that was on the threshold of changes brought about by contact with western society.

 

November 7 at 7pm at the Northern Life Museum in Fort Smith – please post the attached poster in your workplace and circulate to those who might be interested.

Thebacha & Wood Buffalo Astronomical Society - Organizing Meeting (July 21 @ 7pm)

Hello,

 

The Thebacha & Wood Buffalo Astronomical Society (TAWBAS) will be holding its first meeting (organizing meeting) at 7pm on July 21^st at the Northern Life Museum.  Anyone interested in participating in the society should attend.  The society papers have already been submitted and accepted by legal registries and we are now required to complete some basic tasks such as selecting a board along with a few other items.

 

Being that the society is still best considered an autocratic organization (and before someone feels it necessary to invade to impose a democratically elected board) I will offer to serve as chair of the meeting and will pull together a brief agenda.

 

Hope to see lots of you at this meeting !!

With the recent chilly weather, we have decided to move our MAX Winter Chill Outdoor Art display to be open in conjunction with Wood Buffalo Frolics! We invite you all to come out on Sunday March 13, from 12:00 - 3:00 PM and view the ice art display in our outdoor gallery, which will feature a fifty foot long wall of snow! There will be FREE hot chocolate, a bonfire, and a snow block to try your hand at carving.

 

We are still looking for Ice Art to display, so bring in yours by March 12! We have simple How-To instructions if you haven't made yours yet. It's very simple and they look beautiful!

 

We will be holding a FREE Ice Art workshop on Friday March 11, from 2:00 - 4:00 PM. This is a great activity for kids and adults alike! We will display all the art peices made that day in the outdoor gallery.

 

Also, if you are still interested in carving a snow sculpture, we still have a few snow blocks up for grabs! First time carvers welcome, this is about having fun and learning how to make something beautiful out of snow. If you are interested just call us at the musuem or stop by anytime!

Enjoy Wood Buffalo Frolics!

Museum is looking for Outdoor Lights.

Good Afternoon,

 

I hope you have been enjoying this breezy weather lately!

 

At the museum, we are getting ready for the MAX Winter Chill outdoor art display in our outdoor gallery and we are in need of outdoor christmas lights, spotlights, and outdoor extension cords. If anyone has some they would be willing to lend us, it would be greatly appreciated! If you would like to drop any off just let me know.

 

Also, we are still looking for people to make ICE ART cubes. It is very easy and they look beautiful. All you need is water, a plastic tote bucket, and some decorations. I can email you a very simple how-to sheet if you ask for one. This is a great activity for children and adults alike. Once you make your art, the musuem will display it! I fyou have any questions, call or send me an email.

Re: Snow Sculpting Forms at the Museum.

Sorry for not including a time on the first email.

 

I have gotten the suggestion for 3:00 PM (the afternoon coffee break), so that is what we will plan for. We also have the generous use of a forklift, so the lifting should not be too heavy!

 

Thanks again!

Good Afternoon!

 

The musuem has had six forms delivered to shape the snow for the snow sculpting competition we are holding in March during the MAX Winter Chill. The forms weigh over 100 pounds each and we need to position them in the backyard. Is anyone available tomorrow afternoon for a bit of heavy lifting? We don't need to move them very far but Laurie and I can't quite manage this on our own! We would really appreciate the helping hand!

 

Thanks,

 

Kalina
