Event Date:
Thursday, September 26, 2024, 12:00 pm
Location:
Robertson Library
Room:
Teaching and Learning Centre, Robertson Library Annex, Room 230

While sipping on cedar and chaga teas, we can start with digging into the Peace and Friendship Treaties, discussing what being a treaty person means.  Coming from a settler descendant perspective, Heathyr Francis hopes we will connect this discussion with two of the Truth and Reconciliation Commission of Canada: Calls to Action: 

  • 45)iii) Renew or establish relationships based on principles of mutual recognition, mutual respect, and shared responsibility for maintaining those relationships into the future
  • 62)ii) Provide the necessary funding to post-secondary institutions to educate teachers on how to integrate Indigenous knowledge and teaching methods into classrooms. 

Heathyr plans to bring along some tactile objects to inspire conversation and some links to take away.  Join us in the TLC for conversations to shed some light on where else we need to go on these Calls to Action!
