Reclaiming Cultural Identity
Reclaiming Cultural Identity is a program supporting Haudenosaunee and Anishinaabe communities in expressing, preserving, developing and reclaiming their identity by promoting their culture, language and heritage.
The foundation of this Niagara Falls Museums and Niagara Regional Native Centre initiative was a series of workshops and social events designed to encourage and enable the participation of the local Indigenous communities together with members of the non-Indigenous population.
Phase 2 of this project was turned down for funding; however, both Niagara Falls Museums and NRNC plan to continue this partnership and seek ways to continue the work started in 2017.
