From November 27th to March 14th, the University College of the North campus in The Pas will feature a photo exhibition by former astronaut, Dr. Roberta Bondar.

In a first, the exhibition has been translated into Dene, Cree and Anisinimowin, three Indigenous languages spoken here in northern Manitoba.

Jackie Rechenmacher, the Communications and Events Coordinator with UCN adds more.

“The UCN department’s Indigenous Initiative and Reconciliation and The Pas guest list and the Roberta Bondar Foundation recognize that Indigenous Knowledge Keepers have emphasized the importance of caring for the planet and understanding our interconnection with all of these living things so it’s pretty cool to be able to have these translations presented on campus.”

Bondar will attend the opening of the exhibit and the following day, will visit with students at schools in The Pas.

All are encouraged to visit the exhibition which features over 50 images.
