In Anishinaabemowin, bird names speak to relationships, behaviours, and the roles these flying beings play within the world. Through language, they carry observations and teachings that reflect a deep understanding of the land.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eTogether, Joseph, Junaid and Andrés will explore how language shapes the way we see and understand birds, and what these perspectives can teach us about caring for local bird populations today and into the future.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eFollowing the talk, participants will head outside for a guided bird walk along The Canadian Canoe Museum’s Lakefront Campus. Together, we will look for local bird species and discuss their role in local ecology. \u003cstrong\u003eBring your binoculars for this interactive Speaker Series event!\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/canoemuseum.ca\/eventcal\/%f0%9f%97%a3-speaker-series-michael-peake-george-douglas-the-coppermine-route-thurs-may-28-2026\/\"\u003eLEARN MORE\u003c\/a\u003e about Creator's Garden and this event.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e \u003cem\u003eThis event is part of The Canadian Canoe Museum’s \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/canoemuseum.ca\/events\/annual-events\/speaker-series\/\"\u003eSpeaker Series\u003c\/a\u003e.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"The Canadian Canoe Museum","offers":[{"title":"General Seating","offer_id":46286887911574,"sku":null,"price":20.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/2560\/0418\/files\/IMG_2792-2.jpg?v=1773171567","url":"https:\/\/www.canoemuseumstore.ca\/products\/speaker-series-creator-s-garden-birds-of-anishinaabe-aki-sat-june-20-2026","provider":"The Canadian Canoe Museum's Store","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
