This two-hour workshop is a follow up to the fall workshop “First Nations Peoples” held in October 2024, which provided an historic overview of issues confronting Indigenous People in Canada. In this new workshop, participants will explore the importance of Indigenous cultural ceremonies that support community identity and healing. Participants will learn about the vital roles of Elders, Cultural Teachers and how their knowledge of traditional practices promotes Indigenous culture across communities. Through an adult learning model framework, the workshop leader will encourage participants to ask questions, clarify their understanding of Indigenous ceremonies within a respectful conversational learning model.
