September 22ndSecret Treaty Book Launch - Mennonite Heritage Village

Join the Mennonite Coalition for Indigenous Solidarity and Mennonite Heritage Village as we launch Jonathan Dyck and Elder Dave Scott’s book, The Secret Treaty: A Lost Story of Ojibwe and Mennonite Neighbours. The authors will be present to share stories of the West Reserve before Mennonite Settlement and first encounters between Ojibway and latecomers. They seek to answer the question “How do we forge a different way of sharing this land?”

Event Details: Sunday, September 22, 6:30 – 9:00pm at Mennonite Heritage Village Auditorium, Steinbach, MB.

The evening will consist of table discussion and leading from Elder Dave Scott and Jonathan Dyck, dessert and coffee will be provided. The gallery exhibit, “Mennonite Reflections: Arriving in Manitoba 150 Years Ago,” will be open for viewing throughout the evening.

Cost: $10/individual, $20/family

(Those who identify as First Nations and/or Métis will receive free admission and a graphic novel at the door)
