The Battle of Queenston Heights during the War of 1812 was a moment in Canada’s history when everything could’ve changed. Through Two-Eyed Seeing, Tim Johnson and Jim Hill will explore this pivotal event from different perspectives and explore the actions, experiences, and recollections of First Nations and the British army during this excruciating battle when the fate and future of these lands and waters hung in the balance. As a special feature, the new Niagara Parks publication Landscape of Nations: Beyond the Mist will be available for sale before and after this presentation.
