The Canadian Museum of History presents Shaping Canada: In Conversation in the Grand Hall on Thursday, September 24, 2026. Indigenous rights and water activist Autumn Peltier is in conversation with broadcaster George Stroumboulopoulos.
The museum lists a 7:00 pm start. The listing request runs the event to 9:00 pm. The talk is in English, with multilingual simultaneous interpretation on a personal device.
Peltier is billed as an international Indigenous activist who has spoken at the United Nations and the World Economic Forum. The museum says the conversation covers making your voice heard, becoming a young Indigenous leader, and the work of holding a public profile.
