The Leduc Public Library is hosting an indoor Indigenous Storywalk from June 15 to June 17, 2026, offering residents a chance to engage with Indigenous storytelling during National Indigenous History Month. Visitors can drop in between 9:00 a.m. and 8:00 p.m. to participate in this free, self-led activity, which is open to community members of all ages.
The event features the debut picture book, ÂMÎ OSÂWÂPIKONES (Dear Dandelion), written by Nehiyaw and Eastern European artist SJ Okemow. During the walk, participants will wind their way through the library, stopping at various pages displayed throughout the building. The story uses the dandelion as a metaphor to explore themes of self-love, care, and resilience, sharing the message that readers are loved, funny, and capable healers.
This initiative is part of the City of Leduc’s broader commitment to a 12-month cycle of learning, which recognizes the significance of Indigenous heritage and resilience throughout June. The library, which is located within Treaty Six Territory and the Homeland of the Métis Nation, holds this event to help uphold its commitment to listening, reading, and working toward reconciliation alongside local Indigenous Peoples.
No registration is required to attend the storywalk. The event takes place in the lead-up to National Indigenous Peoples Day, which is observed annually on June 21.
