An online workshop for non-Indigenous people to understand settler colonialism, reflect on responsibilities, and build right relationships.
Hosted by Tsimka Martin and Jeanette Sheehy. The online workshop is a welcoming and supportive space for non-Indigenous people aiming to make change, show up well, and work toward right relationship with Indigenous people, communities, and Nations. Together we’ll look at the systems and structures we live within – settler colonialism – and how it functions both structurally (laws etc.) and interpersonally, and the resulting power dynamics and imbalances. Grounded in this awareness, we will talk about settler responsibilities and map existing and potential pathways toward right-relationship.
Indigenous people are more than welcome to attend, knowing we will be discussing the world as it is including descriptions of colonial violence and focusing on the settler responses and feelings that maintain these systems. This workshop is rooted in hope and the possibility of a more loving and just world.
