Creative Minds - Gerald Gloade and Mi'kmaw Ecology
Thursday, January 22, 2026 @ 7:00 pm – 8:30 pm
Join us for an evening with Dr. Gerald Gloade as he shares insight into the Mi’kmaw lunar calendar. Based on the 13 times the moon travels around the earth each year, this calendar names each lunar phase according to what is happening locally on the land during that time.
An artist, educator, storyteller, naturalist, Elder and visionary, Dr. Gloade’s career has been rooted in the ecological history of Mi’kma’ki.*
This event is inspired by artist Jordan Bennett’s series of 13 moons, which is currently featured in the exhibition From One to Many Natures.
*Mi’kma’ki: The territory of the Mi’kmaq Nation. Provinces that stretch across Mi’kma’ki are Nova Scotia, PEI, and parts of New Brunswick, Newfoundland and Labrador, the Gaspé Peninsula of Quebec, and the northeastern region of Maine.
