A partnership agreement between the Canadian Museum for Human Rights (CMHR) and the National Association of Friendship Centres (NAFC) will be signed today.

The agreement will surround a special project with aboriginal youth from across Canada. The project is already underway and will produce artistic “spirit panels” for a CMHR gallery focused on Indigenous views of human rights.

A workshop with aboriginal youth from Gordon Bell High School — whose initial input first influenced the project — and Anishinaabe artist Louis Ogemah will also be underway at the Indian and Métis Friendship Centre this morning.
