How do we create public spaces that truly respect the complex histories of the land? When

creating the new Morleyville: Stories of the Land and People interpretive trail near Mînî Thnî,

the goal was to go beyond traditional dates and history lessons. Instead, the focus was on

building genuine relationships and listening to the voices that make this landscape so special.

In this talk, Anna Rebus shares the journey of developing the 18-sign trail network through

close collaboration with local Stoney Elders and community members. We’ll look at what it

takes to bring people together across cultural boundaries, how bilingual Îethka Stoney and

English signage came to life, and how thoughtful storytelling can turn a simple walking trail into

a meaningful space for connection, respect, and shared stewardship. Whether you love local

history or are simply curious about how our community stories come together, come join us for

a conversation about walking forward together along the Bow.
