Introduction to Indigenous History: Beginning Healing and Reconciliation
“The Indigenous rights history we've never been taught. Want to know more”?
We will begin our time together by using an interactive educational tool developed by KAIROS that will help us more fully understand Turtle Island at the beginning of the arrival of the Europeans. This interactive tool is especially helpful for us to understand the role Europeans played in early settlements and their interactions with Indigenous Peoples. Our time together will continue as we discuss the impact of first contact and explore ways we might encourage dialogue with our Indigenous brothers and sisters.
