In this interactive, experiential workshop we will explore the history and impacts of colonization and settler colonialism within canada/Northern Turtle Island, not only with our minds but with our bodies and hearts. We will create space to aim to decolonize ourselves and practice taking personal responsibility, aiming to build allegiance with centuries of Indigenous resistance.

Taking a broader look at the system of colonization the state has taken to “take the indian out of the child” we will talk about some laws and tactics that go beyond residential schools. We will also talk about how successful residential schools were to create a detachment from family (nuclear and extended), community, culture, language and land. No registration required.

British Columbia has a unique history of colonization. We have the most unceded territory of any other province in Canada. A lot of monumental hunting and fishing rights have been won thanks to nations on the West Coast. Today we will talk about some of these grassroots movements and how they are affecting us now.

The West Coast is very unique in the sense that the majority of the nations that line the coast are matrilineal, we all follow our mothers. In this discussion we will talk about what it means to belong to a matrilineal based society, compare that to a monarchy and also talk about state violence against women. No registration required.
