The Saskatchewan Indigenous Cultural Centre (SICC) will host its first Museums, Cultural Centres, Archives, Interpretive Centres & Libraries Gathering called ē-micimināyakik May 2-3, 2019 at the Ramada by Wyndham Saskatoon in Saskatoon, Saskatchewan. An event of this scope has never been held in Canada. This Indigenous focused gathering will include presentations, keynote addresses, workshops, large and small group discussions and networking opportunities. Participants will include various levels of collections care from grassroots communities, curators, archivists, librarians, researchers, interpretive centres and museum professionals.

Our goal is to share issues, ideas, progress and solutions for First Nations museums, cultural centres, archives and libraries. We invite contributions from the Indigenous community as well as from Indigenous researchers, professionals, scholars and community members that explore, profile and share Indigenous knowledge in these sectors.
