Many Canadians are only beginning to learn of Canada’s colonial history and its impacts on Indigenous people. How do we work towards Reconciliation? We must begin by recognizing and acknowledging the Truth. We will cover the true history from first contact to present day and explore the impacts it has had on multiple generations through discussions about trauma and its transmission through generations by epigenetics. We will support reflection and understanding of your own social location and relationship with privilege and power. Skills for engaging respectfully with Indigenous clients, families and communities will be explored through understanding historical trauma and key differences in worldview. Experiential exercises will assist you in integrating your learning on mental, emotional, physical and spiritual levels.
Presenter: Katelyn Moon and Karla Joseph are partners in advancing Truth and Reconciliation by engaging all people in open and honest conversations about Canada’s colonial past, reconciliation, power and privilege. Karla is of St’át’imc and German decent and is a member of Xwisten/Bridge River Indian Band. Karla has a MSW in Indigenous Trauma and Resiliency from the University of Toronto. Katelyn Moon is a White Settler who has education and experience in ECE and Health Leadership.
