The People's Library

The People’s Library has become the main component of our programming. This has been very instrumental in promoting an awareness and understanding of Indigenous cultures to many Manitoba residents. We are proud of the fact that the library is recognized as having one of the best collections of Aboriginal resources in the province of Manitoba. The library consists of more than 10,000 books and videos in both fiction and non-fiction, in a variety of subject areas.

The Community Connection Program (formerly Community School Liaison Program)

The Community Connection Program (formerly Community School Liaison Program) strives to create awareness of all aspects of Aboriginal cultures, past and present. Not only do we disseminate information, the centre’s role is to be ambassadors of Aboriginal cultures in Manitoba as well. We acquire authentic and accurate information to educate the general public.

Groups can visit the centre or the program can be delivered at any location. Group sizes vary from several up to 20 people. The program can also be delivered to groups of various ages. Topics include Aboriginal history in Manitoba, childrearing practices, livelihood, residential schools, and language. We incorporate both historical and contemporary content tailored to the patrons’ interests. The program is delivered through lectures, presentations, tours and displays.

With this information, it is our hope that the general public will be better informed regarding Aboriginal people in Canadian society. Upon completion of our project, the quality and the number of tours to our Centre will increase.
