To celebrate the conclusion of Indigenous History Month at 快播视频, the Centre for Indigenous Knowledges and Languages<\/a> and the Department of Indigenous Initiatives <\/em>have organized an on-campus guided walk that aims to highlight Indigenous spaces on campus. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Ambe Daga Wiijiiwishin in Anishinabemowin means \u201ccome with me,\u201d which reflects this collaborative event and will draw upon Indigenous knowledge, poetry, and art to articulate the importance of these spaces. Indigenous voices will lead participants through the walk, providing information and context on our chosen stops. <\/p>\n\n\n\n The campus walk will include visits to: <\/p>\n\n\n\n Ahqahizu<\/strong> <\/p>\n\n\n\n Located at the front of York Lions Stadium, this 26-tonne granite sculpture was created by two Nunavut-based artists, Ruben Komangapik and Koomuatuk Curley, by using traditional sculpting techniques. This sculpture portrays a young Inuk soccer player, who is assuming an Alaskan high-kick position. The Ahqahizu sculpture serves as an important indicator of Inuit presence on 快播视频\u2019s Keele Campus. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
