- Support traditional knowledge keepers and cultural facilitators:
- pre-event: ensuring travel is booked, getting bios, answering questions
- during event: helping with set-up, trouble-shooting on-site;
- Post-event: taking down/cleaning-up; ensuring payment is made and gifting occurs.
- Organize facilities and details (such as decor, food, entertainment, transportation, location) to create a place of belonging for all attendees;
- Work with Wabano’s Communication Team to create PR for the activities/events (promotional materials, website updates, social media posts);
- Maintain a cultural calendar of events that coincides with traditional seasonal activities;
- Engage volunteers to support programming and community development;
- Collaborate with other Wabano departments in the delivery of joint cultural programming and activities;
- Produce program reports and evaluations, and input into database system;
- Attend cultural events in the community (i.e. Pow Wows) to identify potential facilitators and guest speakers for programs and promote Wabano programs;
- Maintain database of contacts for guest speakers (including Elders, dancers, beaders, drummers etc.); and
- Maintain cultural supplies inventory.
