The public exhibition opening and reception took place on Friday, September 17th at 7:00 pm at the PWNHC.
This travelling exhibit shares results of a partnership project between First Nation communities and academic researchers to stimulates creativity through networking and exchange. The exhibit, on display until November 30th, includes stunning handcrafted objects combining traditional aboriginal craftsmanship skills with contemporary design. Produced by the Chicoutimi-based art organization La Boite Rouge Vif, the exhibit portrays the creative works of 23 Aboriginal artists from three aboriginal Québec communities: Odanak, Mashteuiatsh, and Uashat mak Mani-Utenam.

Dene National Chief Bill Erasmus and Western Arctic MP Dennis Bevington, invite you to participate in a protest rally on Friday April 9.
On Wednesday March 31, 2010, funding expired for the Aboriginal Healing Foundation, which will result in up to 131 community based projects in every province and territory in Canada being cut by the Harper Conservatives.
The Aboriginal Healing Foundation provides resources which promote reconciliation and encourage and support Aboriginal people and their communities in building and reinforcing sustainable healing processes that address the legacy of physical, sexual, mental, cultural, and spiritual abuses in the residential school system, including intergenerational impacts.
"The importance of the Aboriginal Healing Foundation is its work in communities, on the ground. The loss of such programming would be devastating," said Churchill MP Niki Ashton.
Ashton, who has been spearheading a National campaign to save the AHF, will be presenting petitions signed by thousands of Canadians in supporting the Aboriginal Healing Foundation.
"First Nations, Metis and Inuit and non Aboriginal people from coast to coast to coast have spoken out. We are asking the Federal Government to follow the legacy of the National Residential Schools Apology and its commitment to reconciliation by saving the Aboriginal Healing Foundation," added Western Arctic MP Dennis Bevington.

On Friday, February 12 2010, a plaque was unveiled on the Post Office Building proclaiming it a Yellowknife historical building.
"On April 30, 1956, the current Post Office was opened as Yellowknife expanded from Old Town to New Town. This building was originally configured to include the central post office on the main floor with federal government offices and a courtroom on the second floor. In the early years, the Post Office connected Yellowknife to the outside world., serving townspeople, government and the mining industry, sending and receiving letters and mail order goods. It has been the centre of downtown community life since New Town began.
The City of Yellowknife designated the Yellowknife Post Office as a Heritage Site in 2007 because of its significance to the social, cultural and business fabric of the city of Yellowknife."
