Wheatland Regional Library was selected as a 2024 Culture Days Hub to receive special
funding from SaskCulture to host the 2024 Truth and Reconciliation Speaker Series. In
partnership with workshop facilitator and artist Jasmyn Albert.

“Jasmyn is passionate about sharing her culture and Nehiyaw world view. It was a natural fit to
partner with her for the Culture Days Hub this year” says Desirae Munro, Branch Manager,
Wheatland Regional Library.

Jasmyn Albert is a mother, wife, and proud Plains Cree of Metis and settler descent. Albert grew
up learning many cultural teachings from her kokum and elders. She has been sharing these
teachings for over a decade in her work as an educator, artist, and workshop facilitator.
