Through keynote addresses, panel discussions, workshops, and ceremony, the 2025 Elders & Traditional Peoples Gathering will focus on renewing connections to community, to culture and to traditions for all Indigenous Peoples on Turtle Island. All are welcome to join us in person or virtually. The Elders Gathering was first held at Trent in the 1970's and was the biggest event of its kind. The Gathering provides an opportunity to share Indigenous knowledge through a series of workshops, presentations and gatherings. It is a time for students and the community to come together to listen, learn, and engage with the stories and knowledge that Elders and Traditional People carry.
