LIVE- INDIGENOUS CULTURAL AWARENESS SESSION

The Indigenous Insight cultural awareness training session on September 11 will offer a unique, direct, honest First Nation perspective that will address and clarify  the following objectives:

  • Canada’s colonization history
  • appropriate use of ‘truth & reconciliation’
  • specific common misconceptions non-Indigenous people may hold about Indigenous peoples
  • do’s and don'ts of engaging with Indigenous communities
  • distinctions between ‘systemic racism’, ‘racism’, and ‘white privilege’

All the topics above are relevant, necessary & critical to indigenous engagement activity pertinent to Canada.
