Circle Talk ~ Stories of Resilience

Join us for our next Circle Talk on June 10 from 7-8:30 PM ET. Registration will soon be open on the C.A.R.E. website: https://www.careartistsforreconcilation.ca/.

Our Truth Teller for this Circle Talk will be Richard Van Camp, ONWT, author, storyteller, professor, film producer. Van Camp is an internationally renowned storyteller and best-selling Tłı̨chǫ Dene author, writer and professor. Van Camp is a prolific writer. As of 2023, he has written 27 books in as many years. He is perhaps best known for his 1996 debut novel The Lesser Blessed, which was adapted into a film of the same name by Anita Doron in 2012. Doing so made him the first Tłı̨chǫ person to ever publish a novel. He is well known for his short stories, of which five collections have been published. A particularly versatile writer, Van Camp has also authored comic books, baby books and children’s books.

Canadian Artists for Reconciliation & Education (C.A.R.E.) is a non-profit society registered in B.C. that came together after the revelation of unmarked graves at Tk’emlúps te Secwépemc in May of 2021. Our purpose is to hold safe spaces for Indigenous People to share their stories while educating the public in all matters of the truth regarding the injustices against the Indigenous Peoples of Canada and Settler history, while nurturing acts of reconciliation.
