To mark the start of National Indigenous History Month, Algonquin College was pleased to welcome Elder Frank Horn from Kahnawà:ke, Que., to share his thoughts and stories.

Horn is a criminal attorney who continues to practice at 83 years of age. Early in life, he also worked as an ironworker on major construction projects across Canada and the United States. He is married, with five children and nine grandchildren. He is also the father of Wendiiosta Horn, the Mamidosewin Centre’s Indigenous student support officer. He was joined by his wife Elizabeth, who offered a traditional blessing in Mohawk at the beginning of the event.

Horn spoke about the Indigenous connection to nature, the importance of knowing who you are and how important peace and democracy are to a society.
