Join us at MONOVA on Thursday, September 19 from 6:30-9 pm for the Connection Speaker Series: The Fire Still Burns with Sam George!
Hear Sḵwx̱wú7mesh Elder Sam George share about his childhood growing up in Eslha7n, attending St. Paul's Residential School, becoming an educator with the Indian Residential School Survivor Society, and more. Even in the darkest places an ember of Sam's spirit always burned within him, and he retained his humour and dignity until he found the strength to face his past.
“My name is Sam George. Despite everything that happened to me, by the grace of the Creator, I have lived to be an Elder.”
