Brave Like a Buffalo
Melissa Allan & Jadyn Fischer-McNab
This story uses a powerful animal, the buffalo, as a symbolic message and connection to Indigenous ways of knowing and being that helps to create a wonderful narrative rich with Indigenous ties and a heartwarming message around facing adversity.
At this event, participants will learn more about the buffalo and what makes them such an amazing animal. Then we'll make a paper collage celebrating this magnificent creature.
The Round Prairie Library opened in 2017 and was named in honour of the La Prairie Round (or Round Prairie) Métis, who were a community of buffalo hunters that established a wintering site near Dakota Whitecap in the late 1800s. In the 1920s and 1930s many in the community were forced to migrate to Saskatoon in search of work, and by the 1940s they had established a permanent and close-knit community near the current site of the library. This library includes an Innovation Lab and Video Game Room.
