Echoes of ancient landscapes, resonate with the spirit of the land that has witnessed millennia. "Reflections of Home" is a testament to the enduring connection between First Nations people and the landscapes that have shaped their stories. Experience a night woven with threads of land, memory, and resilience, in an artistic tapestry that invites you to delve into the depths of First Nations' connections with home and heritage through the transformative power of the arts.
