Join us for a powerful afternoon with Elder Larry Grant sʔəyəɬəq 洪禮興, as he shares the profound journey of identity, resilience, and belonging in his new memoir, Reconciling: A Lifelong Struggle to Belong. Born in 1936 in a hop field near Vancouver to a Musqueam cultural leader and a Chinese immigrant from Guangdong, Larry’s life embodies the complex intersection of Indigenous and Asian heritage.

Now 89, Larry reflects on a lifetime shaped by displacement, cultural duality, and the quiet strength of reconciliation. Through intimate storytelling and thoughtful insight, he offers a vital perspective on the path forward for First Nations and Canada.

This special event features a conversation with writer Scott Steedman, a book signing, and celebration of Larry’s extraordinary life—just days after his birthday.

Free to attend (registration required). Donations welcome. Pre-order your copy of Reconciling today to secure a signed edition. Proceeds support Musqueam language revitalization, including a multilingual children’s book based on Larry’s childhood.
