Indigeneity 101

Indigeneity 101

Although Canada promotes multiculturalism and inclusion, Indigenous peoples still face stereotyping and racism. This phenomenon can be connected to not being exposed to the true history of colonialism in the public school system. Until recently, this history was not widely taught in schools. Luckily, this is beginning to change and Indigenous history is now being integrated into public school curricula across Canada.

ReconciliACTION

ReconciliACTION

While in Ottawa for a conference on reconciliation in January 2017, Anishinaabe Elder Commanda spoke about the concept of ‘ReconciliACTION.’ She suggested that we need to do more than merely speak about reconciliation and the wrongs of the past; we need to move to meaningful action. She called this “Reconcili-action.”

What does Reconcili-action look like for Kingston and where do we begin?
