Mapping the Ground We Stand On

An Interactive Workshop Exploring Indigenous and Settler Relationships.

Participants will walk on the map, reflect on their own presence on it, and discuss how they might respond to what they have learned. As time allows, participants will also learn about PWRDF’s 20-year history working in Indigenous communities in Canada.

This interactive workshop, known as the Mapping Exercise, invites participants to explore the Indigenous presence on the map of Canada, the history of Settler arrival, and their relationship to one another.

Mapping the Ground We Stand On

An Interactive Workshop with Syiyaya

We are honoured to have Syiyaya facilitators and Indigenous witnesses offer this unique educational event. Standing on a map invites Indigenous and Settler participants to consider our relationships with each other, and our historic and current place in Canada. We reflect on “Terra Nullius” (Empty Land) and the “Doctrine of Discovery” in colonialism (which included establishing residential schools), and juxtapose those with an exploration of Indigenous Traditional Knowledge.
Complements and furthers the KAIROS Blanket Exercise experience (Oct 20).
FREE but space is limited and advance registration is REQUIRED.
Contact the Library to register: 604-886-2130.
