    How to be an Ally: Reconciling 150 with Indigenous Calls to Action

    How to be an Ally: Reconciling 150 with Indigenous Calls to Action
    The Centre for Social Innovation, Bear Standing Tall & Associates and Ode’Min Giizis Indigenous Full Spectrum Doula Training collaborate to present a panel conversation on “Reconciling 150 with Indigenous Calls to Action.” This panel of Indigenous activists, social-spiritual entrepreneurs, artists, knowledge and wisdom keepers, survivors, and community members will examine the impacts of colonialism from the last 150 years and beyond, and discuss ways that allies can share space and support healing by building bridges and exchanging knowledge.
    Recognizing the complex nature of intersectional identities, this panel acknowledges that there is no singular Indigenous experience and is meant for anyone wishing to support Indigenous individuals and communities in a meaningful and respectful manner.
    Participants will have the opportunity to hear panelists speak and ask questions. To submit questions beforehand which you’d like the panelist to explore
