WORKSHOP DESCRIPTION
In Canada, Indigenous people are significantly overrepresented. Studies suggest that Indigenous people are 8 times more likely to experience homelessness/houselessness than non-Indigenous people and represent between 10% - 80% of the total homeless population in large urban centres”. Because of the profound impact homelessness and inadequate housing has had on Indigenous peoples, it's important to start at the root to where homelessness first began. The Indigenous Homelessness training is Indigenous-led and will go deeper into the history of Indigenous people, colonization, systemic racism, and the multiple oppressions that continue to influence the day-to-day realities, while also highlighting the resiliency, strength, and beauty of our Indigenous peoples. There will be relatable stories, learnings and teachings provided throughout, including sharing circles where everyone will have an opportunity to reflect and contribute. Participants will be provided with opportunities to consider their biases and practice self-awareness as well as practical strategies, and tools, to journey alongside Indigenous individuals and families.
*Content/Trigger Warning: Training consists of content materials, visuals and discussion of residential schools, historical and ongoing traumas.
