"Renewed focus on aboriginal experience in Medicine Hat"

"At least a pair of projects in Medicine Hat will soon serve as reminders of the city’s close ties with Indigenous culture and history.

“One of the reasons why i tell my story is two-fold: to inform people who might not know about (the aboriginal experience) and also it helps me heal,” said Brenda Mercer, cultural co-ordinator for the Miywasin Friendship Centre.

Mercer will speak about her life story during a presentation at the Esplanade this week [Dec. 2 at 7:30p.m.].

Meanwhile, the Miywasin Friendship Centre and Tourism Medicine Hat have relaunched plans for the Miywasin Story Tour. The tour is slated to begin in late spring or early summer 2022. "
