Spaces on Athabasca University campus honour residential school Survivors and families, and legacies of Linda Bull and Bertha Clark-Jones
A new memorial garden and art gallery at Athabasca University's (AU) campus offer spaces for quiet contemplation and reflection to remember the lives lost and Survivors of Canada's residential school system.
AU's Indigenous unit, Nukskahtowin, which means meeting place in Cree, hosted the Sept. 27 opening of the Linda Bull Memorial Garden and Bertha Clark-Jones O.C. Art Gallery. The garden honours the legacy of the late Linda Bull, O.C., who was Cree and one of AU's first Indigenous academics, while the art gallery is named after Bertha Clark-Jones, O.C., a Cree-Métis who devoted her life to advocacy, in particular for Indigenous women and children.
