Storytelling with Debbie Sykora

A Saskatchewan Indigenous Storytelling Month Event

Debbie Sykora will join us to share stories of her mother, Bernadette Lafontaine/Allarie Sykora.

Taanshi, My name is Debbie Sykora. I am Métis on my maternal side and also carry the settler narrative on my paternal side. My mom, Bernadette Lafontaine/Allarie Sykora, was Métis on both ancestral lines. Michif was her first language, and I was fortunate to grow up hearing the language. I live in Moose Jaw and have been a helper throughout my life, working in the human service field since the 1980’s. I have a Psychology and Social Work degree.  I am also a poet and storyteller, having had my poetry published in an Indigenous Anthology this past year. 

I am proud to share my mother’s story here for Indigenous Storyteller month. This is a time when we come together, keep warm and share knowledge, history and traditions with one another.

This is a drop-in program and is intended for adults.
