Not only is it heart month, but it's also Aboriginal Storytelling month.

Schools and libraries around the province are celebrating our diversity and sharing stories of our ancestors. Locally, the Moose Jaw Public Library held events this week and it will continue on for next few weeks as well. 

Assistant Librarian, Jessie Marchinko, said stories like these are apart of our heritage and we should be showcasing them.

"Shamefully this is an enormous aspect of our culture that we have neglected, willfully and tragically for the last 150 years," said Marchinko. "We're all here together, we all want to be supported and have healthy communities, we should be making a point of celebrating aboriginal traditions and history. Storytelling is a really great way to bring our communities into balance in a healthy and meaningful way."

The library had an all ages event earlier this week, where a special guest came in with puppets for younger children to enjoy for a creative way to embrace some of our heritage. 

"Coming around and recognizing this and taking steps to rectify it by sharing information on aboriginal cultures. We should be engaging in it with the same level amount of interest that we put into any other culture is important."

The library will be offering more Aboriginal Storytelling events throughout the rest of February, click here to see their events calendar.
