Indigenous Fundamentals

This workshop empowers individuals with the knowledge and skills needed to participate in popular culture conversations, specifically related to Indigenous matters, both within and outside of the workplace. Participants will leave this session with an assured sense of correct terminology and a better understanding of fundamental issues, such as systemic racism and intergenerational trauma, which may have blocked them from participating in past conversations on Indigenous topics. Participants will learn how valuable it is for them to have a voice through knowledge empowerment, and how these voices are needed now more than ever.

Please note: attendees will be confronted with historic and present-day truths, which may make them feel uncomfortable. The host addresses this in the presentation and discusses why it’s important to sit with being uncomfortable while asking participants to contemplate why they may be feeling that way. This is done in a respectable and safe learning environment.
