"Everything is in the forefront for Indigenous culture. Gloade had been working with Nimbus Publishing for some time as an illustrator and will discuss the significance of Indigenous art. "We see it as an urgent, urgent demand for more content."Įlder Albert Marshall, Sen. Brian Francis and artist Gerald Gloade will attend Saturday's event. "We're losing so many people and the knowledge that goes with that is a tragedy," Marshall said. Marshall said young people have pushed for a program to bring together new ways of communication and knowledge through the use of reading, multimedia and transliteracy - a concept that uses various forms of communication across a range of platforms. The initiative is funded through the Ulnooweg Community Fund and the Canada Council for the Arts with support from eight publishers through Nimbus Publishing. "The opportunity for the youth to engage their elders in the communities as writers or publishers is fast becoming an urgency," Marshall said. The launch begins a series of workshops for youth interested in storytelling. Focus on connectionīridge to Publishing has focused on connecting Indigenous storytellers with youth and is led by a committee of Indigenous elders, authors, artists and educators all over the Atlantic region. "Indigenous storytelling is the means by which we transfer knowledge and this knowledge has been accumulated over thousands and thousands of years," Marshall said. Lindsay Marshall, the Bridge to Publishing co-chair, discussed the program on CBC's Mainstreet Nova Scotia. It will give youth the opportunity to learn their oral traditions and use them in publishing and storytelling. The pilot project will be held at Asitu'lisk Cultural Centre, near Bridgewater. The free professional training program is called Bridge to Publishing: Reclaiming the Indigenous Narrative of Atlantic Canada. A new Indigenous initiative set to begin this Saturday talks about the significance of communication and storytelling.
