An experiential workshop that explores the nation-to-nation relationship between Indigenous and non-Indigenous peoples in Canada.
About this Event

KAIROS Blanket Exercises (KBEs) were developed in collaboration with Elders, Indigenous educators and allies in 1997 as a response to the Report of the Royal Commission on Aboriginal Peoples. This experiential workshops explores our shared history as Indigenous and non-Indigenous peoples on Turtle Island.

Through a participatory and interactive format, participants physically embody the journey of Indigenous communities, highlighting the systemic injustices they have faced. The exercise encourages reflection, promotes reconciliation by fostering an understand and awareness of the history and impacts of colonization on Indigenous peoples in Canada while helping participants develop a deeper appreciation of Indigenous rights and cultures.

This participatory history lesson is approximately 4 hours long and fosters truth, respect, and reconciliation in our community. Developed in collaboration with local Elders, it includes opportunities to particpate in tradtional ceremonies with local Knowledge Carriers.

Creating Safety

These sessions can bring up heavy emotions as we deal with difficult topics including genoicide assimilation, the Indian Residential School system, Intergenerational Trauma and missing and murdered Indigenous women, girls and 2-Spirited people to name a few. Creating safe spaces is one of our top priorities and we strongly encourage all participants to review the self-care plan linked below.
