Speaking Our Truths – Part 2: The Journey Towards Reconciliation – Mar 12, 2025

Session Description

What does it mean to be an ally to Indigenous peoples? Is it even possible to call yourself an ally, or is it more correct to say that one can only aspire to be an ally, as allyship is a continuous process of self-reflexivity, learning, and acting in a decolonial manner? These are some of the questions and issues that will be explored in the two-hour presentation, Reconciliation: Walking the Path of Indigenous Allyship.

Please be aware that smudging, which involves the burning of sacred herbs such as sage or sweetgrass, may be present during our workshops. We acknowledge that some participants may have smoke allergies or sensitivities to scent. If you are affected by such conditions, please let us know in advance so that we can accommodate your needs accordingly. We are committed to ensuring a safe and inclusive learning environment for all participants.

Facilitator: John Croutch/Andrea Johns
