Conversations & Coffee - Voices of the Land: Understanding Place Names

Wednesday, Jan 14, 2026 at 6:00PM

Cochrane Public Library

Explore the deep history and cultural connections of Treaty 7 through its original Indigenous place names with JR and Pauline Twoyoungman from the Nakoda Nation. This session offers a fascinating look at how these names reflect the land, stories, and traditions of the peoples who have lived here for generations. See familiar landscapes through a new lens that honours the voices and knowledge of the Treaty 7 Nations.

This event is proudly supported by the Ethnocultural Grant from the Government of Alberta as part of Weaving Connections: Indigenous Culture, History, and Healing, an initiative dedicated to fostering understanding and cultural appreciation.
